But for daycare? Hard to solve for that.
One way, I would think, would be for corporations to analyze their personnel turnover and see what portion of it might be attributable to “has small children.” Just as Henry Ford reduced his turnover by 75% with his $5-a-day gambit leading to less downtime, less training time, and better output, this might be a cost which could be absorbed and still lead to better productivity and a happier workforce.
It wouldn’t work on a small scale, probably, but a large building (the Murrah building in Kansas City!) might be able to support it both economically and ethically. Dunno. I’m still with the “free is a bridge too far” brigade, but there might be some position between “absolutely free” and “too high priced to matter” that would work.
