flag A childcare crisis in Australia, fueled by abuse scandals and safety fears, is pushing women out of jobs, threatening gender equality.

flag A childcare crisis in Australia is forcing many women to reduce work hours or leave the workforce due to safety concerns, with over 20,500 children withdrawn from care between March and June and one in 10 parents pulling their children out. flag High-profile abuse cases and nearly 150 workers with misconduct allegations have eroded trust, despite the sector’s overall safety record. flag Women, who already earn less and face long-term financial penalties, are disproportionately affected, leading to reduced workforce participation, lost career advancement, and increased unpaid caregiving. flag Without systemic reforms, the crisis threatens to reverse progress on gender equality.
