  • I think that’s on purpose. Gross income is probably the maximum some parents are willing to pay. You’re basically not making any money but you’re avoiding gaps in your CV. After 6-7 years the kid goes to school so childcare costs go away but you kept your job so now you’re back to making money (instead of looking for a job after 5-6 years of unemployment). If you charge people more it makes more sense economically to stay at home and save money. If you charge them less you’re leaving money on the table. Same as with healthcare private system is trying to squeeze everything it can out of people.
