When child care became free, those families stopped parenting their children.
Scientific evidence says there is a natural tension between extrinsic and intrinsic motives, and that financial rewards can ultimately depress or “crowd out” intrinsic goals (e.g., enjoyment, sheer curiosity, learning or personal challenge).
looking at it from the other end of it, it is a proven fact that people do not value what they did not earn. This is evident in every human that has been given things for free. You take care of those things you worked for. If it is free or given to you, there is no value. If there is no value, there is no reason to take care of it.
I think its a mindset: to me money is always valueable. But the obnoxious Italian tea set that my mother-in-law gave me, not valuable at all.
Well that's sad, is there a study on free childcare and parenting? I think it's a just thing for all parents; they care less for their children if they did not want them.
