Child care, though, tends not to be - for the simple reason that there is almost always an alternative to having the child(ren) in a child care center. Care at home.

You can't care for the spawn at home, if you need to work all the time.

This is typical in the Philippines. Young woman gets pregnant, guy disappears. She lives with parents, has the kids. Grandparents take over raising the kids and Mom goes to work, sending money home to grandparents to help with raising the kids. She get to visit them. If she get lucky, she finds a nice guy, and gets the kids back. If unlucky, the kids get raised by the GP and turn out great because they are raised with the old values.

This has all of the natural variations but is a common theme. If in the family both work, then another relative lives with them and takes care of the kids.
