“It's a strange catch-22. Parents are paying literally a mortgage … but also, the teachers who are working there are getting paid like a fry cook':
“You can't have [a dozen] 1-year-olds with one teacher. That's not safe,” said Latoya Gayle, the advocacy director for the child care nonprofit Neighborhood Villages. “The younger our children are … the more manpower is needed to do that work. That’s why it’s expensive.”Colin Jones, a research analyst for the Mass.
The United States government spends the fourth-lowest percentage of its gross domestic product on child care among the 38 nations in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, ahead of Greece, Canada and Turkey. It’s also near the back of the pack in terms of per-pupil spending, especially when it comes to children in the first two years of life.
The state has what Jones calls"a very complex market failure" when it comes to child care. A mix of minimal government spending, widespread demand and limited supply leaves all but the wealthiest households underserved, spending more than they can comfortably afford, or both, Jones said. “There's really very extensive empirical literature that shows a huge payoff to improving the capabilities of young children through child care," Folbre said, pointing to impressive benefits like higher rates of school completion, better health and less crime.
