Daycares are shutting down and parents are 'tired of being tired'

• jleyank 5y ago
  Not much point in working if the salary is consumed by childcare and commuting costs, assuming that childcare is available. This is why many countries have or are trying to set up inexpensive daycare to allow both partners to participate in the workforce. Currently, there is a double whammy with older workers deciding to exit the workforce and women (the traditional carer) being unable to get back into it. Throw in young folks reconsidering their options and there’s whole sections of the job market (retail, service) sucking wind.
