Some employers also accommodate side businesses and hobbies. One place I worked at even encouraged employees to use their equipment to work on side projects. My current employer lets me work on my side business in the office when I don't have other work to do. Ironically, that same employer discriminates against staff in relationships because they're a child-having risk! So I think one aspect of accommodating kids is the same. Not a moral thing so much as a way of attracting workers.
