, children are guaranteed spots in day care and parents only pay a fraction of the cost — and so of course you have women participating in the labor force at much higher rates,” shares Saujani. “In other countries, if one parent wants to stay home, or a family member can provide child care, the government will pay for that — there's a recognition that this labor has real tangible value and so families can decide what works best for them.”In the U.S.
“I am lucky because I can take my daughter to work with me, so that’s what she does if she can’t go to her dad’s house, or her step-dad can’t stay home with her or I can’t stay home with her,” says Tori Landrum, a mom in Bakersfield, Calif. “It definitely makes it difficult to get a full work day in.”
