Care is Capital: How Childcare, Paid Leave, and Reproductive Health Shape Women’s Entrepreneurship

Join Small Business Majority and the National Women's Law Center for a timely conversation on how childcare, paid leave, and reproductive health access directly shape the success and sustainability of women-owned businesses. Women entrepreneurs do not operate outside the care economy — they operate within it. When care systems are unaffordable or inaccessible, small businesses absorb the impact through disrupted cash flow, delayed growth, and increased financial risk. This webinar will explore the latest research on care as economic infrastructure, highlight real-world experiences from a small business owner and paid leave advocate, and examine the policy and employer solutions that can strengthen business resilience nationwide. Designed for small business owners, ecosystem leaders, policymakers, and advocates, this discussion will provide data-driven insights and practical resources to help ensure that care is treated not as a personal burden, but as the capital investment it truly is. Register today to join the conversation shaping the future of women’s entrepreneurship.
