Is there a link between work and day nursery?
The number of people who take their kids to the day nursery still increases. This is due to the fact that there are more and more double-income couples.
For people with lower incomes, it is cheaper to take their kids to the day nursery. However, we can see that in comparison with the richer families, they take their children less to the day nursery and make an appeal to informal daycare.
Companies see that their employees are struggling to find a place for their child in the day nursery and this is bad for the labour outcomes. Therefore many enterprises start their own day nursery during the holidays.
Co-parenthood as a solution to combine work and parent-child quality time
When you are a successful businesswoman as well as a mother, it is sometimes hard to find a balance between work and parent-child quality time. Nowadays, a lot of people are getting divorced, and that makes finding the balance even worse. Co-parenthood may be a solution. If a successful businesswoman would be a fulltime mother at the same time, she could never practise her job. That is why she should be grateful to have a big social network, which can help her to raise her children. It is also important that the scarce time she has with her children, is real quality time.
