We consistently talk about child care as a social issue when in reality, it is an economic issue 💸 Listen to "Where's My Village" @FortuneMagazine's podcast about the child care crisis and the stories of those trying to improve it 👏👏👏 @Megan_Leonhardt https://t.co/GZO6ZjftJz

But it's still not clear how we are planning to fundamentally address the shortage of licensed psychiatrists 🧐 If you're building a company to augment or upskill the mental heath provider ecosystem, please reach out 🧠

[Alison Ryu @ryu_alison]

🚨 By 2030, @HHSGov projects a 20% decrease in psychiatrists. 60% of psychiatrists are 55+ making them the oldest (and closest to retirement) of all medical specialties. At the same time, the state of mental health is abysmal and demand for care is at an all-time high.

A bipartisan bill aims to address this supply crisis. It includes provisions such as the expansion of Medicare's bonus program to attract talent to rural areas, an increase in Medicare-sponsored residencies and modification of requirements to make it easier to see psy trainees.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, childcare workers in the U.S. make $0.59 less per hour than dog walkers on average 🧐🤯 How can we ensure caregivers are fairly paid for the critical work that they contribute? @joingivers

Thank you @fittinsider for amplifying our research on Gen Z's healthcare preferences, expectations and needs 👏 "By 2030, Gen Z will make up 30% of the workforce...While they’re willing to pay out of pocket for well-being, 63% expect employers to offer mental health benefits" 🧠

[Alison Ryu @ryu_alison]

By 2030, Gen Z is projected to make up 30% of the workforce and their earnings will reach $2 trillion💥 Able Partners and @wearespringbank launched a research study to understand how Gen Z navigates healthcare. We spill the tea at https://t.co/NiMkt4ERaY ☕

[Alison Ryu @ryu_alison]

In the US, Gen Z constitutes nearly a quarter of the population and is the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in history 🌈 As this generation transitions into their next chapter, they will begin navigating the healthcare system on their own for the first time 🧭

3/3 Here are some of the innovations we are most excited about in 2021 that will help to close The Wellness Gap. https://t.co/C4Dg2gHnDt

[Alison Ryu @ryu_alison]

1/3 We have been active investors in health and wellness for nearly a decade, a category that exists because of the underlying inadequacies in our current healthcare system. Never have those inadequacies been more pronounced than during the Covid-19 pandemic.

[Alison Ryu @ryu_alison]

2/3 More than ever, our mandate to help the consumer live a healthier, happier and more meaningful life, with a particular interest in categories that have historically been stigmatized and overlooked, is critical to our collective efforts to rebuild and reconnect.
