What if childcare facilities did not exist?

Since 2007, I have had the pleasure of working in a childcare facility. It has been a long and bumpy ride. I often find myself asking the question "why am I here?" A trainer once said you are here because you are one of the most valuable resources in the world. She also responded with the question "What would parents do if childcare facilities and workers did not exist?" One answer to this question is unemployment would rise. Many individuals would not have the opportunity to work because they do not have anyone to watch their children while they are away from home. Some individuals would be broke and depend heavily on government assistance, baby-sitters, and relatives. Some parents would lack the ability to keep food on the table, clothes on their children's backs, and shelter over their children's heads due to lack of employment. Another answer to the question is children would also suffer in the process. They would not have the ability to interact with children their age and would know less information  upon entering grade school. The only people that would prosper would be the working  individuals that do not have children. So as one can see a world without childcare facilities would not succeed!
