"Child care in the United States is, by many standards, in poor shape. Commonly heard complaints included that today's system of child care endangers the well-being of children, causes financial hardship and stress for families, makes it next-to-impossible for low-income families to work their way off welfare, causes substantial productivity loss to employers, and prevents many mothers from maintaining productive careers in the labor force." (ISSUES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) The author examines the state of child care in the U.S. and highlights areas in need of improvement.
