Special series: A guilt-filled juggle and a childcare crisis

  • Summary

  • Hey Anon listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love. It's called At What Cost?

    Australia is known as the “lucky country”. So how did struggling to access affordable childcare become the norm? Amid a cost-of-living crunch, most families say they need two incomes to make ends meet. But with childcare fees in Australia being among the highest in the world, parents are caught in a “cost of working trap”: they can’t afford not to work, but the cost of care is so high it eats into their earnings.
