Thanks I forgot Korea and Japan. Even in Britain having your parents look after the children is quite common and you even get a pension boost for it (which is why I said Western Europe)

In Germany it’s based on giving kids independence/autonomy (thus less babysitting) probably one reason the age of consent isn14 but given our problems with pedos I don’t believe we could adapt this system to here unless our culture changed

In all honesty I think we should be strongly encouraging seniors to stay in the workforce part time either through childcare or positions that don’t require much physical activity such as supervisory positions or security guards (who watch cameras). I believe giving seniors a sense of purpose would help reduce the elderly suicide epidemic
