ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Childcare fee relief on the way | 7.30” – below is their description.
The cost of childcare can be one of a family’s biggest expenses. Both major parties are now promising help, with the Federal Government announcing fee relief earlier this week.
The goal is to increase childcare attendance, and because childcare at home falls disproportionately on women, that’s a policy that should affect women’s ability to join the workforce.
But as Dan Conifer reports, a shortage of early educators could pose a problem.
