In the case of childcare services, the same
tendency as above exists but is much milder
in the sense that even respondents with higher
education expect more from the state (Table
14). A possible explanation is that childcare
services enhance being present on the job
market. Respondents with higher education
invested a lot for a successful job carrier and
can feel that they deserve some governmental
assistance when it comes to their children.
