Available for over a year

Raising a child is expensive - and in the US, families can pay more than their monthly rent to cover childcare and enable them to get back to work. We find out why costs in the US are so high compared to the rest of the world. We hear from parents who are struggling to make ends meet, and speak to providers who say they're operating in a difficult environment.
