A one-infant enhance within the baby–employees ratio requirement for infants is related to a lower in the price of care of between 9 p.c and 20 p.c, which interprets into a discount within the annual price of kid care of between $850 and $1,890 for the typical price of care throughout states.
That is from Diana W. Thomas and Devon Gorry, “Regulation and the Price of Little one Care,” Mercatus Working Paper, August 2015. Diana tells me that it was later revealed however that this working paper incorporates the essence of their findings.
That is enormous. Permitting only one extra toddler per care giver would dramatically scale back the price of baby care.
If I had identified about this research after I was combating a proposed new property tax to pay for baby care, it could have strengthened my argument.
