I mean, daycare is really local. Some have huge subsidies, some are run by a church, some are very small. It's quite variable.
Generally though, if you lose your job, you can go get another job and still stay at the same daycare. I think we've all survived through credit cards for a while in between work. But that doesn't work if the daycare is through the job.
- asadm 2y agobut having daycare far from workplace just means mothers are at a disadvantage. Either they take time off during formative days or balance 2 jobs at the same time (and commute between them) Co-location is, i think the key to solving this.
- Balgair 2y agoI think the economic principle of 'revealed preferences' shows up here. If co-location of daycare and work was something that people valued highly, then you'd see it happening already. The daycare nightmare has been going on for quite some time.
- asadm 2y agoThe employers have no interest in doing this. The whole DEI effort is just hand waving to avoid being cancelled.
