My ideal world we would pay a reasonable wage to people to take care of their own children and the eldarly relatives. These are real valuable and nessasry jobs that end up being an economic drag on those that can least afford it. So instead of paying a stranger to help grandma do household chores make meals and drive her to her medical appointment why not pay her granddaughter to take care of her instead taking a second job to pay for the assured living facility? Why have both parent work two job and pay for all day daycare when dad can stay at home clean house and watch the kids? We fear population colapse as younger generation put off or decides not to have kids and yet child care cost so much that they cant aford to have kids instead pay people to be parents and nurture and raise children.
