How Child Care Enriches Mothers, and Especially the Sons They Raise
Keywords: Day Care, Children, Child Care, Mothers, Fathers,
Claire Cain Miller points to the high cost of child care in the U.S. and the benefits to society from providing affordable child care. It has a high impact on women's employment and incomes, and ability to pursue opportunities in education and career. The effect on children especially for low income families is enormous. Average cost for child care in the U.S. is by one estimate $16,514. The higher the quality of care in early years the better the outcomes are for children in education, careers, income, and later in life.
Japan and working women in business and government- Miyuki Hatoyama and Japan's "male-centred society"
12/22/2009
Miyuki Hatoyama says Japan is still a male centred society and says there is a need to change that. As old social structures break down women have less help with child care in the home, there are less child care facilities available, and women are still seen as responsible for taking care of elderly parents. Her husband was elected as DPJ party prime minister in 2010. Mr Hatoyama studied engineering for a PhD. from Stanford and met Miyuki in San Francisco. Both go together for dinner at restaurants, hold hands, and Mr Hatoyama does the dishes. Miyuki Hatoyama has written about cooking and supernatural events.

Proportion of working age women that are employed- Japan at 64% passes the U.S. at 63% by 2015
10/16/2015
The U.S. has slipped from 7th to 20th place of 24 countries surveyed according to Jason Furman, chairman of president Obama's Council of Economic Advisors. Collins attributes this to poor child care resources available to working women and points out that this matters as it crimps family incomes. Japan is investing in pre kindergarden spaces and other ways to help women enter the work force as its population ages and it needs ways to boost the economy.

Germany and the child care education workers strike in June 2015- national priorities and a question on wages of service workers
06/05/2015
Should child care workers required to have 3 years of training and often a college degree make the same as entry level workers in manufacturing, even after they have worked in the field for many years, is the question about national priorities that is being posed in Germany in 2015. Has Germany's economic revival left behind many workers outside manufacturing, who lack the strong representation of manufacturing unions, including workers in a field so closely allied with education- early child care education which takes place in child care centers.

07/21/2015
The Federal Court allows states to offer the benefit. The critics said the benefit to 455,000 people went mostly to immigrant families and the poor who should be taking advantage of early education at state run child care facilities instead of keeping children at home.

Hurting economic growth and productivity in America- the lack of paid leave for women
07/28/2014
Women earn 59% of higher education degrees in America, by one estimate. Their contribution to science and technological progress would be higher with paid leave for maternity and other reasons. Participation of women in the workforce is being addressed in Japan and Germany, with calls for better child cares facilities and family friendly workplace policies. Strangely one hears less of this in the U.S. even at a time when participation in the workforce for women is declining along with an overall drop in the labor force participation rate.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
