Hi there, my name is Stefan Mollanyum. The host of Free Domain, the largest and most popular

philosophy show in the world, and I am here to steal a few minutes from your day to just make your

life pretty much infinitely better. We're going to be talking about daycare. The effects of daycare,

choices to stay home, to not stay home, the facts, the reasoning, the morals, and the effects of

this most important choice. We talk about the research facts about daycare. We've got health and

well-being, effects on children and their cognitive development. What the result of intervention

of course, have been going into the workforce, but married women with children under age 18,

it's a massive, massive shift, one of the biggest shifts in the history of the world. In fact,

people say, well, why did women go into the workforce? I mean, we'll see the data later that 80%

of working mothers would rather not work. So why did they want to go? Why did they end up going

into the workforce? Well, there's a lot of propaganda and so on. But it wasn't because of the need

for money because when women go into the workforce, supply and demand, all they do is they drive down

the wages of men. So that hasn't really done much. You could say, well, women tend to vote for a lot
