A new survey finds that 81% of women feel child-care cost, availability, flexibility and trust made a big difference in their decision to be in the workforce.
The decision to participate in the workforce after having a child can be difficult for any mom, even those who are married, college educated and only have one child.
The top three factors the survey found affecting a mother's decision to participate in the workforce included how family-friendly their schedules would be, their desire to stay at home with their children and how cost effective working would be compared to pricey child-care bills. Some participants stressed that not working isn't an option, because they're either single, need dual income or because their spouses do not contribute.
Sara Mauskopf, co-founder and CEO of Winnie, said large child-care centers that have more than 50 children in their programs offer less flexibility for parents with differing schedules when compared to in-house, licensed child-care providers who can offer flexible scheduling at lower costs. In-home providers are harder to locate, however, which is an issue Winnie has tried to address state-by-state by bringing over 50,000 of them online, Mauskopf said.
