Blanco Public Policy Center at UL Lafayette examines economics of child care
"When parents must miss work to care for their children, the resulting productivity and income losses, decreased purchasing power, job turnover and other factors create a profound ripple effect. The economic impact extends far beyond one family or one employer," Barnes said.
"About 78% of working families have difficulty finding quality, affordable child care without assistance. As a state, we must prioritize funding mechanisms that make early care and education accessible for our working families," Sonnier said.
Tomorrow Water Launches Second Phase of its Project to Revolutionize the Economics and
ANAHEIM, Calif. , April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomorrow Water, an innovative environmental solutions provider with a vision of a "Clean and Beautiful World Beyond Waste", is launching the second phase of its ambitious Tomorrow Water Project (TWP), a plan aimed at drastically improving the economics and sustainability of wastewater treatment and other key infrastructure elements around the world.
Tomorrow Water's philosophy is that in order to foster sustainable waste and sewage practices, wastewater itself needs to be converted from a cost stream into a revenue stream. TWP does this by recovering valuable resources from wastewater, including water, heat, energy, proteins, and nutrients, making it more economically feasible to implement sustainable water and sanitation systems in developing nations.
The (Broken) Economics of Tournament Organizing | Ultiworld
When Todd Curran, the owner of XII Brands (VII Apparel, Five Ultimate, and Aria Discs), called me up about the Richmond Cup, his new mixed division tournament, the $10,000 prize purse wasn't the most interesting part of the event.
Call me weird, but I thought that the tournament's decision to implement a $200 team fee and a $25 per-player fee was a much bigger deal.
"I think that's the model that we need to do moving forward in ultimate," Curran told me. "I think that the team bid fee model is broken. It's very difficult to run a successful event if you don't know who's coming. You have communication with 16 captains, and that's it."
