The country is not more productive if the amount of money earned by the second working spouse pays only for the cost of childcare, which is actually the case for many families.
Now, funding public school and paying more income tax does bring in more revenue for the government, which governments tend to like.
- jacalata 11y agoIt depends - at that moment perhaps not, but when the kid gets out of daycare the second spouse is still in the workforce instead of having to get back in after several years off.
- tomp 11y agoIt's even worse than that - even if the second spouse has some money left over, the inflation of life costs (food, transport, and especially housing and, ironically, education) has turned a one-working-prent from the default into near impossibility!
