$20,000 is roughly the cost of childcare for the year. It would be better spent on letting parents use that money towards that, allowing both partners to work.

$20,000 is roughly the cost of childcare for the year. It would be better spent on letting parents use that money towards that, allowing both partners to work. With a large enough population you could probably open an on-site care facility for children, which buys you better employee satisfaction, since you could integrate it with their workplace IT. That said, the $20k is a one time cost to freeze eggs, whereas the $20k you would give (to a partner or other childcare) would cover just one year. The egg freezing seems like the more economical choice, from Apple/FB's point of view.
