This is totally why so many places are trying to abolish child labour laws. Instead of addressing the cost of childcare, or the underlying causes of both parents needing to work multiple jobs in so many households, legislators’ solution that doesn’t cut into bourgeois profits is to just let the children get jobs too, so they’ll technically be under adult supervision at work while their parents are also working, and instead of paying for childcare, the household can have a bit more money to feed and clothe the kid… a perfect solution, at least on paper!
