The government should provide more financial
assistance to parents who use childcare.
Firstly,
childcare centers may assist children in their
early development. They give children an
opportunity to mix with other children and to
develop social skills at an early age.
Indeed, a whole
range of learning occurs in childcare centers.
Moreover,
parents and children need to spend some time apart.
Children become less dependent on their parents and
parents themselves are less stressed and more
effective care-givers when there are periods of
separation. In
fact, recent studies indicate
that the parent-child relationship can be improved
by the use of high-quality childcare
facilities.
In
addition, parents who cannot go
to work because they don't have access to childcare
facilities cannot contribute to the national
economy. They are not able to utilize their
productive skills and do not pay income tax.
In fact,
non-working parents can become a drain on the tax
system through dependent spouse and other
rebates.
In
conclusion, government support
for childcare services assists individual families
and is important for the economic well-being of the
whole nation.
