The Curious Case of Crèches: Whose Responsibility is it?

Abstract

At the core of the argument for crèches, lie the notion of a child’s vulnerability and the shared responsibility of the parents and the State to ensure his/her protection. But how far have we managed to bring this argument to fruition? In the backdrop of falling women participation rates in the labour force, how could crèches help turn the tide? Is it fair to hold the employer responsible for the employee’s welfare? What is the State’s role, and how are the odds stacked against the modern working woman?
