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.
