The Investigation - The Parent Gap
Suzanne Allan examines whether a lack of affordable childcare is crippling the economy; Graham Stewart takes your calls.
Suzanne Allan examines whether Scotland is being economically damaged by the lack of support for working parents.
We're half way through Westminster's ten year plan to help us become more like other European countries, but the lack of investment in childcare means families and the economy are taking the strain. The Women and Work Commission has estimated this cost to be around 1-2 per cent of GDP every year. In Scotland, the figure would be more than 拢1bn annually.
Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
