Larger companies (around here) have an activities center/daycare in close proximity to the main building for the employees. They have certified daycare workers ( I know I know, Mr. eyeliner thinks being certified is nonsense.)

There is no cost to the employee, just a nice perk. They can work out and stay healthier (good for the company and worker.) Their children are right next door and safe.

For smaller companies, definitely more of a challenge, but we, as a community can figure it out.

Of course in their view all women should be forced to remain in the home to care for children and have no source of economic independence.
