[quote=Anonymous]Well, in France they have subsidized day care starting at six weeks: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/01/opinion/sunday/catching-up-with-france-on-day-care.html?_r=0 I think the "line" is drawn by the parents' outside the home work hours -- when parents are expected to be at their job, someone else is expected to be providing childcare. If we had longer FMLA-type leave or paid maternity/paternity leave, or even more part time professional, career-track jobs, we would have less demand for 45 hour a week childcare. But instead, we have more and more parents working 40+ hours a week, and more and more interest in professional childcare. [/quote]
