Its critical to understand how important child care is to women, not just families. According to their article funding childcare is a “no-brainer” since its reduces the $600 million cost of employee turnover, absenteeism and health care premiums due to work-life conflicts. They mention as well that the recent $55. per month child care tax benefit is absurd given the cost of daycare per month is over $1000 per child. Go to www.cantaffordchildcare.ca to learn more.
