It is often said that children are investment in our future and given the way our world functions, that is the truth. Now, would you rather invest the minimum in our children and their parents and hope that it’s incentive enough to have them, or do as much as possible to encourage having enough children as well as well-rounded ones?
IMO you should stop seeing it as a “reimbursement by the public” but an investment. Good football players don’t just fall out of the sky. You need the facilities, the trainers, and yes, the parents to be there to drive them to games, encourage them not to give up when they lose, to take care of them when they get hurt, to buy their equipment, to cheer them on, and a lot more.
I don’t want to argue against the concept and actually believe that the amount paid here is too low. What I tried to point out is that determining a good amount is difficult and arguing with work makes the matter more complicated.
The more pressing issue would be to make child daycare actually available.
