NEW YORK, July 10 (Xinhua) -- Americans overwhelmingly view the cost of child care as a significant issue, and most support initiatives to offer free or low-cost day care and to require employers to provide paid family leave for parents of babies, according to a poll released Thursday.
About three-quarters of U.S. adults see child care costs as a "major problem," but only about half say helping working families pay for child care should be a "high priority" for the federal government, according to the June poll from The Associated Press (AP)-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
