14. Childcare: Abby Jitendra and Bel Guillaume

  • Resumen

  • How to solve the childcare crisis The government recently announced future changes to childcare which should make it easier for parents to work. We will discuss what those changes are, how they will work and if they go far enough, with Abby Jitendra, from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Bel Guillaume, from Onward. We ask the following questions: Why does childcare cost so much? Why are childcare workers not paid very well? What government support is available for childcare costs? Why is quality important? What was announced by the government on how support for childcare will change in future in the recent budget? How do we ensure better pay for childcare workers? What's happening on childcare in other countries? The five billion the government is investing, this may not necessarily lead to higher pay, because it's about expanding for amount of provision - isn't there a danger that they may not be able to recruit the necessary workforce for that expansion? Has anyone done any calculation of how many extra workers are needed? And how much of a difference will the government’s changes make to childcare costs? How big an issue is this going to be in the general election?
