On the one hand, child care, elder care, healthcare, care for people with disabilities, in homes and institutions, are major employers of low-wage workers. On the other hand, many of the families they serve have members who are low earners. What would be the impact of a living wage on these organizations, their workers, and the people they serve? How would it affect the availability of childcare? This session will include representatives of nonprofit social services and childcare providers, as well as people who work in those organizations in administration and front-line service provision. It will also include a presentation by Dr Anne Marie Brady and Dr Zoe West, senior researchers at Cornell University’s ILR School.This convening is part of a broader effort to bring together workers, employers, community organizations, researchers, and policymakers to better understand the economic realities facing residents of Tompkins County. We welcome anyone interested in labor, economic policy, community wellbeing, and fair wages to participate.Come learn, share perspectives, and help shape the conversation.If you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions regarding the Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: Care Economy, we encourage you to complete the survey below:https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8eMaI9WM2qdl28S - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ithaca/tompkins-county-minimum-wage-convening-the-care-economy/100001987008730602 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Ithaca - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Child Development Council - **lat**: 42.4364845 - **long**: -76.5060845 - **full address**: Child Development Council, 609 West Clinton Street, Ithaca, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Tompkins+County+Minimum+Wage+Convening%3A+The+Care+Economy&date=Tue%2C+21+Apr%2C+2026+at+10%3A30+am&bg=3 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy being held? - **A:** Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy takes place on Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am to Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 12:30 pm at Child Development Council, 609 West Clinton Street, Ithaca, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy? - **A:** Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convening: The Care Economy is organized by Tompkins County Minimum Wage Convenings. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
