Melissa Ansell-Bridges: Women's employment advocate on the cost of returning to work for new mothers

Concerns have been raised as to the cost of childcare for women wanting to go back to work. New Zealand mum Anna Cately recently had twins, giving her three kids under the age of three. Looking at returning to work, she calculated that after childcare costs she'd be working a full week for just $170 dollars. Other young mums say she's an example of the struggle they face. Member of the National Advisory Council on the Employment of Women, Melissa Ansell-Bridges told Tim Dower early childhood education should be free. She says ECE isn't just childcare, it's an important piece of education in a child's life. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
