Answer to Question 1

Research has shown that the problems employees face in arranging care for their children tend to result in absenteeism, tardiness, low morale, and productivity problems. By sponsoring child-care programs, employers can avoid all these problems. Also, recruiting new employees is easier when an employer can offer child-care services to prospective employees, especially in heavily female segments of the labor market such as nursing.

Answer to Question 2

Suggestions that children raised by a single parent suffer more problems than children raised by both parents have been strongly attacked for implying that mothers are not adequate parents or that parents should not divorce. These suggestions have been interpreted as limiting women's choices in lifea stance that is not popular in this era of gender equality.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
