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. 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. 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. 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.
