Child care is a core issue for the growing number of two-earner families.
With both parents going to work in increasing numbers, who's going to take care of the children is an important question for two-income families. Black Hawk College sociology professor Nancy Smith believes there is a child care crisis in the United States and that somehow the country has got to find good child care. With the trend of dual-income families predicted to keep rising as the 21st century progresses, Ms. Smith said the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. Larry McCallum, Augustana College's endowed chair for family life studies, said it is the people with plenty of money who will find alternatives, such as nannies. He added that he is in the middle of a study on powerful women executives that possess such resources.
