Why Daycare Is So Expensive In America
Переглядів 1,290,297
5 років томуChild care costs vary from state to state, even county to county. But there is one common thread across the country - it's really expensive. Both parents and child care providers are struggling to make ends meet with the rising cost of child care.
Raising a kid in America is expensive. The cost of child care has nearly tripled since 1990, which is more than the overall rate of inflation.
The price families pay varies from state to state, even county to county. But in many places, it costs more to send a toddler to day care than it does to pay for housing, transportation or even college tuition.
There is good reason child care is so expensive - it's a very involved, labor-driven industry.
But the tension around the cost of child care in the U.S. really boils down to who foots the bill. In countries like Denmark and Sweden, the government covers much of the child care costs. In America, the costs are generally shouldered by parents and providers.
Federal child care funding in the U.S. has been in a perpetual ebb and flow in response to cultural values. During World War II, the federal government came the closest it's ever been to having universal child care.
Now, with the 2020 election coming up, some candidates are making it a priority.
Watch the video above to learn about the history of child care in America and how rising costs are impacting families today.

@ocrockstar82 5 років тому
that's exactly what I thought. My wife stayed at home once we started having children (left a six figure job with a long commute), though before we had kids she thought she could pull off both, in the end, she realized she didn't want other people raising OUR children. I worked longer hours and boosted my income, we tightened the belt, and figured it out. If I tried working at a business making zero money, I'd get kicked out of my own home, it would be a reckless move, my wife and I understand basic economics.
@5pctLowBattery 5 років тому
Regina Johnson agreed they keep choosing the wrong people to interview. It’s one extreme to the next. I remember this Diane Sawyer clip “my reality” middle class Americans struggling. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gJiZZIeao5WqrnU.html The husband is out there working 3 jobs, and the mom stays home. In both cases it’s obvious the mom should use her college degree and find a job that will cover reasonably priced daycare and help pay the other expenses. In this 2 income economy it’s a luxury to get to stay home with the kids.

Imagine how much it's going to cost with so many centers closing down permanently and many people who have worked in childcare for almost 20 years looking to get out as we were treated as if we could just get covid and deal with it, there are more people leaving than coming in, because even with a degree the pay is very low, imagine going to college for a bachelors degree and making maybe $16 an hour if you're lucky, with little to no benefits etc and having to deal with abusive from children and parents alike.

My wife and I spent over $100k on childcare, raising two kids living just outside of Baltimore betwixt 2013 -2016. We worked hard, I put together a side hustle, we paid the bills & kept moving forward. The concept formerly known as *_personal responsibility_* must be dead, buried and all but forgotten - for it is never mentioned. If you plan to have children, you first must consider how you're going to pay for their care, especially during the early years. If you cannot afford child-care costs, and you're still raw-dawgin, take some *_personal responsibility_* and get up on some proper birth control. Why don't we hear more from Nathan, Rebekah's husband? We never hear his thoughts one-on-one, about the state of the family expenses? Actually, we never hear Nathan's thoughts about much of anything. The conscious decision to spend $5k/month on childcare whilst spending $5k/month for an apartment, as part of the family budget, prescribed by a woman who is "afraid to discuss it with her broker", is a recipe for disaster.

The video covered how daycare centers are barely profitable or often are not profitable. 11:31 Following the state-mandated requirements to be a legal daycare center is expensive due to the cost of the care-givers/teachers. I personally know 2 women who own/owned daycare centers. One had to close her daycare and file for bankruptcy. Another has been trying to sell her business for years because it does not make any money. All the care-givers/teachers from both centers wanted their center to stay open because they were happy to get paid what they were getting paid. I know of no daycare owners who want to keep their business running long-term and this is because daycares are incredibly hard to make money with and require a TON of involvement. It is a special type of business that requires tons of upkeep, maintenance, involvement, investment, and time from business owners while not making any more than a passive investment that requires way, way less involvement.

@@mutoidliz2320 Then at least she could get a job that actually pays. I mean it's fine to want to start a business, but to do so right after having 3 children(which is a poor choice in and of itself given the financial situation) is just a bad idea. Fact of the matter is, they didn't just make one poor financial choice. They made at least 3. Living in NYC Having 3 children Starting a business that doesn't earn a profit (over working a regular job) Any single one is fine and is something one can work through. But together? It turns into a typical "I torpedoed my family's financial stability and let's blame society" Also, the primary reason people are pushing her to be SHAM instead of him being SHAD is because she earns less. If he earned less, I don't know about others, but I'd push for him to be SHAD. Fact of the matter is, if the lower earning member of the two parent earn less than the cost of child care, that member should stay at home instead, regardless of gender.

My mom desperately wants me to have a child. She wants a grandchild so bad. I’m 27 and don’t have children, and even though I find myself wanting them more the older I get, I chose to refrain from having children because it’s expensive to raise them in this country. Prenatal care is the beginning, then hospital bills, pediatrician, food, diapers, CLOTHES. Children grow quickly so clothes and shoes are rapidly replaced.

The central question of “why is childcare so expensive” was never answered. The video went over some examples of people struggling to pay for it and of possible government solutions but never actually answered the question. Why did childcare go up in price much faster than inflation?

@richdobbs6595 3 роки тому
Since the ratio of child care providers per child in licensed has been standardized for a long time, my guess is a combination of cost of facilities (housing goes up faster than nominal inflation), and more of the market showing up in the licensed facilities in more expensive areas. Might also be affected by fewer folks being able utilize low cost relatives.

People will often say "don't have children if you can't afford them" but that completely ignores the problem of how the country would have enough employees if the majority of people chose not to have children because they "can't afford them". Not to mention the massive drop in population if large swaths of the adult population chose not to have children unless they could afford thousands a month in childcare expenses.
