Poll: Childcare

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
Will you be picking up the kids later today, or will they be home all day?

Michelle Duff explains in an opinion piece written for Stuff, how some parents can't afford the option of putting their kids into childcare.

Duff said this affects poor mothers the most.

A survey ran by Stats NZ showed that almost a third of mothers said they turned down work, or had to stop looking for it because of childcare difficulties.

What do you think about the costs of childcare?
