childcare costs
Nursery fee burden
Childcare costs are the expenses associated with having someone look after children while parents work or attend to other responsibilities.
These include fees for daycare centers, nannies, babysitters, and after-school programs.
Childcare costs represent a significant portion of household budgets for many families: Childcare costs eat up nearly a third of our income.
The term often appears in policy discussions about working parents and economic inequality.
