3/8. Childcare. "When it comes to childcare, Germany is a Third World country" - a damning statement from Germany's Minister for Family Affairs. The legacy of Kinder, Kucher, Kircher (children, kitchen, church), whereby women were expected to stay at home, has left the country with a childcare crisis. Rosie Goldsmith travels to Laer in western Germany where a childcare revolution is under way and mothers can pursue their careers. But in Estonia, with its chronically low birthrate, women are being pushed back into the home and paid to breed. Producer Emma Rippon Repeated on Mon at 8.30pm
