Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Child care is expensive everywhere. But this country tops the list
Parents used to get the return on investment from making and raising children when very little or no education was mandated and children started helping households and earning money at their earlier ages. Until the middle of the last century, most children received just primary education and started helping the family or earning money. However, nowadays in developed countries, middle and even higher education has become the norm. Also, as more both parents are working, they need someone to take care of their children while they are at work. Indeed, raising children is becoming more and more expensive. Also, in Eastern Asian countries like China, South Korea, and Japan, private tutoring has become part of middle, and even primary education. Furthermore, unlike in the US where students use loans to pay their tuition, it is customary for parents to pay college tuition in these countries. All in all, raising children is getting too expensive for parents in Eastern Asia to the point where many couples now choose to have only one or no child. It’s a pity that childcare and education seem to have become too much a burden for many parents.
Enjoy reading the text and learning about what childcare and education mean to parents.
