Part Nine: THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT CHILD REARING. IT is now a worldwide trend. Not only in industrialized societies, but in developing areas, such as in the islands of the Caribbean, rising numbers of mothers are joining the work force. Here, statistics show up to 90 percent of the children were in day care before they were 2 years of age. Demand for day care in Australia, New Zealand and in Latin America is strong. In Canada, more than half the children 5 years and under are supervised by some sort of nonparental care. About 40 percent of Britain's under-5s are in day-care facilities. More than 35 percent of children of 6 years and less are in day care in West Germany. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
