An oft overlook topic is childcare.

And I'm not just talking about little kids, big kids too.

For those companies that went from 5 days x 8 Hours ... to now 4 days x 10 hours (8am to 6/7pm), what happens to children during this extra time?

Our entire society is based on the assumption parents end work by 5pm.

Who's going to feed and get kids ready for bed if the parent are now arriving home 2-hours later, which might be the kids bedtime.
