...with a problem like child care? An estimated 175,000 children are waiting for places around Australia, and demand keeps growing - three-quarters of a million children attended some form of care in 2004, 10,000 more than the year before. Pregnant women are urged to enrol their unborn offspring for a day-care place a year or two ahead of time - often paying a fee to join a waiting list - only to be told by apologetic center staff, "We'll let you know."
