a there's a video and notice here place and they've got the russian presidents. i'm just standing and rushes, understanding as a whole, puts us in a better position than other countries in the region. when it comes to gas. we respect rushes, position meet, wants to strengthen its currency, and this economy. we will do everything we can to ensure that there are enough means to pay in roubles in the free market. we convert all money to make payments. i must note that we have confirmed that the price we offered is quite favorable to us. and this is thanks to concessions from russia for the prices remain the same. it was confirmed to stay at that amount for the next payment period to of which rose this is up in the book, put, communal city is obvious to the west is miscalculated. they believed in the weakness of rush. i even saw it to take possession of the country and break it into pieces or take possession of its natural results is, which is that is beyond question. it is clear that there is not a single importantly you leader who could move this process forward. it is also
1:31 pm
kind of the, you as no minerals, no fossil fuel, no energy sources, they trying to impose that values, but those values every dubious. i mean, i think that washington's bad intentions behind this, the us wants to alienate the you from any cooperation with russia. we can the union and subjugated, which is what is happening uh, you know, the decade. we've not seen the e u be more dependent on the us than it is today. on the other hand, the eu has not sold any of these problems. the issues with energy and results is have remained at the same level. they've only gained the discontent to that population. take the farm as protests. for example. we've seen farmers take to the streets with our equipment protesting in almost whole countries. objectively oldest will be very difficult to stop. oh, because the best you put it in starting a conflict with russia in this way and the american guidance, the not blaming someone else. instead of finding the results, just trying to re think deposition is stopping the negative processes for them and the entire region. they're still trying to blame russia. it was launch gold rush,
1:32 pm
it would defend the strategic interests. those who travel to all the code is a be of subjugating people. all the americans found the british to it a certain time, controlled a significant parts of the world. they are the ones who have now decided to judge so much. what russia has done is to protect his interest. it's people, everyone forgot that the cube authorities banned the russian language and much more . it's quite normal that if everyone and especially launch countries have the opportunity to protect the interest, then russia also has that right. the fact that they found a puppet regime to try to confront its own people with for un weapons is a kind of deception by the west. what is new here is that the united states would loved to be a mediator in old conflicts, has become one of the policies to the complex. that's how i believe that russia will complete his operations, achieving strategic success in the interest of russia and the russian people, some of the con, to a solo thomas in the republic. a
1:33 pm
service guy is proud of its good relations, especially with so it'd be a which is logical and also with hungry primarily thanks to pics old bonds with russia, which has expressed a lot of understanding for our regents to decades. one small republic with a population of 1000000 people is satisfied with the understanding it has with all friends savvy as the guarantor, the taken peace agreement. that'd be assigned the framework agreement and is responsible for republic. a sub scab on the west is tried to drag, so it'd be away from his responsibilities. but we're trying to bring all these stipulations back to the spotlights in the best way possible. you see, we're talking about one people when the germans abolish the german democratic republic, also known as east germany. they considered it normal to unite one people, which is what ultimately happened. but they do not offer this right to small nations like the subbing people. it's absolutely normal that the subs from a public, a subset and subs from serbia one day become a one that territory one, the political community. this is logical and legal since one other people's have
1:34 pm
the right to unity. we cooperate and the fails to make, you know, makes education, culture and sports. we subs from republic a subscript supports in all international competitions as well as russia. we don't have all our needs national teams because we weren't allowed to say, well, home team in all sports, the serbian, so being is on native language, how people receive medical treatment inside the receive the education that economic cooperation is at the highest level. we have complete understanding and agreement with president boost, which is background knowledge on the issue of cost of it and everything the west wants to do is expensive. but i believe that in addition to that, there is an understanding of what republican service is. obama is one of the strongest mom leaders in europe. he has his own policy, unlike other western politicians who do not have their own opinions. back on schultz and others are following someone. the only one who has an opinion is old on the goal of his policy. he is present of statehood, people's sovereignty and freedom. and he respects the same values in others. that
1:35 pm
is precisely what republic a service guys doing. fighting for a sovereignty for its freedom. so that no one could impose outside decisions on it . it was expected the old on and i would have stablished 1st political and then the economic relations, which are developing very successfully. we have good friendly relations. we also have mason exchange opinions about the circumstances in which we find ourselves taken to the future of the u. as in the idea is that old on promotes and the way he believes the you should exist. otherwise the you will not exist. the will definitely not be under the patronage of one country, germany which has shown that it cannot be a leader. it does not even have its own lead up. if you want to be the leader of the you, you must be untouchable leader of your country. as medical was, for example, regardless of one, i think about head lice regarding the men's agreements and so on. she was a leader who rose to the highest level of the entire a you today there were no such politicians today we the balkans, politicians cannot even remember all of that. politicians that constantly changing
1:36 pm
an old bond remain steadfast in his intentions, which is why he is my friend. or why not say all day this our house need again on top of the hour by now the having a child, it's one of the most joyful moments for parents. however, the expenses that come with taking care of a child are rising. this as families are struggling with the decisions of when to have children, whether or not to have more than one child, or even if they can afford to have children at all. i'm crispy and you're watching the cost of everything we are today. we're delving into the various factors contributing to the increased financial burdens on families and the rising cost of child care
1:37 pm
the, the costs of child care has risen so high in recent years that some parents can't afford to work. now this might sound a little backwards because if you don't work, how do you for to take care of your child? well, in 2023, the average household spends more than $700.00 a month on child care, up 32 percent from 2019 child care. whether in the form of daycare centers please schools or in home care is a vital service that allows parents to work while insuring the wellbeing and development of their children. however, the costs associated with these services have risen dramatically in recent years. outpacing installation and wage growth. roughly 2 thirds of families who need child care are reading, dedicating more than 20 percent of their annual household income towards paying for it. in the u. k families could spend
1:38 pm
a whopping 75 percent of their monthly income on child care, which then discourages women from going back to work. the landscape of child care is also changing with more families moving away from the traditional reliance on grandparents to an increasing preference for early education programs. the child care was, was primarily a family affair, often handled by grand parents, families lean on the support and experience of brand parents creating a strong intergenerational bond. but today we're witnessing a growing trend where families are choosing early education programs, such as the montessori method over traditional support systems. now one key driver of this shift is the rising desire among parents for early education opportunities for their children. the understanding of the critical development years has led to an increased emphasis on formalized early education programs. parents are now seeking these programs to provide
1:39 pm
a solid foundation for the cognitive and social development setting the stage for future academic success. child care is the largest financial component of raising a kid with national estimates coming in at around $11752.00 per year to unfortunately not every family can afford the higher cost associated with these child care programs. so instead of working one parent often leaves workforce in order to look after the children. the u. s. economy loses an estimate of $122000000000.00 a year when parents leave work or reduced their hours to stay home with young children. however, there are many countries where child care is subsidized. in germany and austria, parents benefit from free or highly subsidized public child care, luxemburg, iceland, sweden, and norway also rank very high on child care provisions among high income countries
1:40 pm
. meanwhile, slovakia, the us cypress, switzerland and australia ranks the lowest. the lack of affordable child care is also a t barrier for parents compound e social economic inequalities within countries and a high income household. nearly half of children under 3 years old attendant, early childhood education and care. and now joining us today is dr. reba perry. you fairly founder of use of the rise early education center. now dr. reba how the families budget having a child are most parents financially prepared for the extra burden? the average parent parent really is not. and the reason why i say that is because by the time you add in formula we supplied feed use of cloud formula. we also get a stipends donated by a with a y p d. we also get um supplies from books to toys. so
1:41 pm
we kind of take the burden off the family as well because we know most of the families are struggling financially because in new york state it's very difficult. if you ran is 3000 and you only make it 3900. how are you able to support child care? so that's why government came up with the supplement. are there common misconceptions about the cost associated with raising children that you often encounter gets the children are financially a lot for an average person? so imagine being a single person raising a child and not being able to come up with the financial part. so i think a lot of us have an action plan in place, but we just can't pursue it because of the high cost of living. so most people really can't keep up with the child care of increase. so when they give us these letters and tell us that this year,
1:42 pm
you're going to increase 30 more dollars is not even logical. it's not even sensible to ask the family to pay more if they can barely pay what they're paying now. and the cost of living has gone up for so many of us, even the red light and gas. so basically, the reason why the cost of living is going up because people have different lives, lifestyles now, but with child care, it's little different because if the cost of living is going up, that means that we have to provide the parents with good service, but we have to pay more for us to be able to stay open and how significant are education related expenses and the overall cost of raising a child. it can be very expensive because you have so many things that you have to put in place because i am the u. s. t teacher and i know work the inside the school system is totally different from supplies. so if you have one child, you can kind of wing it. but imagine a parent that has $34.00 and $5.00 children,
1:43 pm
especially in the beginning of the year when they give this list of school supplies, they expect me to give to each child. and the parent really can't afford it cuz you'll want to pain at least $200.00 and that's just and keep it take. so that's another reason why i know it's very challenging for parents to be able to to afford even projects that the teachers are requiring them to get that parent might just not have the extra money to be the supplement. and i know it's very costly because my children are 27 and 18 and it was a lot of money just to raise them. so now we in 2024. and we talk about economic issues, social injustice in multiple multiple things that can hinder people in certain properties stricken areas. what other educational advantages of enrolling children as formal early education programs? well, a lot of the parents, well, i have
1:44 pm
a long waiting list for my particular program because i mean 9 acceleration teacher . so i'm not a baby. see the, i'm not just the child care provider. i actually teach the children. so i do a full day curriculum from a these 6 weeks in of depending on the child's ability to be able to keep up and their structure programs actually contribute to a child's cognitive and social development. yes. so a lot of times it doesn't come in, like i said, i have a 2 migrant children that came in, that weren't speaking english. so we did, we were able to teach the family the english as well, but my students also learn spanish. so it's a cultural thing where a lot of times we think everybody can afford to be in child care when they really can't. and that's why our government came up with a, a child key of stipend will be able to tell you for the services. what about in
1:45 pm
cultures where grand parents traditionally play a significant role in raising grandchildren? i actually had 3 of the children in my kid data being raised by the grand parent who to foster care and chip program, which can be a struggle, especially if you're on a fixed income. so that's why i get a family's toy getting on supplements to be able to afford the child care. what benefits are associated with this approach is very important that people stay connected with the immediate family instead of of foster care type of person. because a foster care person and work diligently to help support you with immediate family with no your extended family such as cousins, aunts and uncles, and they would know your family traditions more than a stranger. thank you, dr. rima, please stick around. dr. rima perry, you fairly well,
1:46 pm
stay with us right after the break. and when we come back, financial responsibilities for parents don't take a break. as their children transition into adults side will have more after the break, the . the the, [000:00:00;00]
1:47 pm
the small child care costs usually stop around 3 to 5 years old. the total cost of raising a child does not stop there. instead of daycare and nannies, those costs will be replaced by extracurriculars, hobbies and education statistics show that the average middle income family with $2.00 children will spend $310000.00 to raise
1:48 pm
a child born in 2015 up to age 17 and 2032, a significant portion of this cost is housing. as families need to upgrade to a larger space to accommodate to growing children, then comes food on the low budget and a family of 4 spends about $11700.00 a year on food at home. on the higher end, they spend more than $19000.00 per year on food, and that's around 25 percent of their income based on the media household income of $74000.00. and finally, there is the college education fund. the average annual cost of public colleges is around $24000.00, while private college is that $55000.00. besides, parents will also need to factor in transportation to and from school health care, insurance, clothing, toys, phone bills, extra curricular activities, sports,
1:49 pm
hobbies, family, vacations and more. the high cost of raising a child is one of the reasons american families are having fewer children. the fatality rate is currently $1.00 birds per woman, which measures a number of birth, the average woman will have during her lifetime. while the cost of having multiple children is high, the cost per child actually goes down. the more kids who have 2 kids can live in one bedroom and share items like toys or clothes compared to a family with 2 kids. couples spend 27 percent more on an only child and families with 3 or more kids spend 24 percent less on each child. south korea is one of the most expensive countries in the world to raise a child to 18 years old, followed by china. for koreans, a large sum a child care expenditure of goes towards educational expenses. beyond regular public schooling,
1:50 pm
korean spends about 360 dollars each month per child in 2022 on private cram schools so that they can test into good high schools and universities. korea is a very education focused society. and for most families, extra lessons after regular school is accepted as normal families that cannot afford these extra cram classes, often times are at a disadvantage when it comes to the child's future. most of these extra lessons are focused on english as a 2nd language and math to sell for this and more. let's bring in again dr. rima perry, you fairly founder of use of the rise early education center. now we switch to the financial aspect of child care. how do you charge parents knowing most of them can't take the burden of high child care costs? well, i basically have never increase my payments. i've been open for 15 years and i stick to the same amount and this is why supplement by doing outside of work besides the child care,
1:51 pm
because i know my average family can not afford the 340 that the state regulates us to discharge dec someone's whole income, so i stick to a lower base and when i started this 15 years ago, it was to help support people in the community. but it was also to help the children be able to build this self esteem more than just and powering for the money on how their child care and extra curricular activities contribute to the financial responsibilities of parents. well, in my particular program, i bring the everything to the children or bring them out because i know most of my parents really cannot afford to go out side. they have program, but i mean if they get off of work, they tie it any way. but most of the time, they just can't afford to take the child to a museum or, or even to the sue or any type of stuff through the environment. so we basically do everything we a one stop shop,
1:52 pm
meaning we give all the supplies. but we also take that burden off the mom, and this is why we have such a long waiting list right now. are looking to open to more sites because we realize that the parents need to bigger than what we thought opens 15 years and i see the parents begging to get into this particular site because they know everything will be brought to the child. do extra curricular activities help the parents, and they can be more flexible with work hours or the cost benefit of extra curricular activities is just not worth it. the extra curriculum activity does help the parents because they put stomach, he's specially what else in the photos and say, look, we have a merry go around. look, we're after sue or we visit in santa claus. oh, we doing some extra curricular activity in his no out of pocket expense on their behalf. and the parent is at work not worrying because some of my children stay and
1:53 pm
my kids the 10 to 12 hours. so that means the majority of the day with me. so by the time the weekend comes prepared, just overwhelmed with just everyday activities such as the laundry cooking cleaning . so that's why we do the one stop shop with a mom doesn't mom and dad or grandma doesn't have to worry about the child being treated for how the government support programs and policies contribute to alleviating the financial burden of child rearing. so they have a child to vouchers for missing the children's services in different programs, 3 k. and what they do is they supplement and according to your income. but they also allow the children to be in child care and not have to have the financial burden of where we do our pay for the child care. or do i pay for my rent till i paid for my lights or paying for the child. and a lot of the kids have actually, oh, close because of called it. and that means they were limited on quality child care
1:54 pm
. so that's why we have such a long waiting list. and i said, you know what, i'm going to go out on fields and actually open another site so that i can be able to address this major issue and other areas where government initiatives could be enhanced to better support families. i think once a child is enrolled in child care, it shouldn't be the daycare provider telling parents to go in. right. so the supplemented a child to you about is, i think it should be automatically sent out to the parent so that the parent to know and how would they know because they do a database and they know exactly how many children are born. and when they do the senses, that's the part that should allow parents to be able to address the child key issues without worrying about the child staying with grandma, instead of actually being in the child care center on the loop setting. how does
1:55 pm
income disparity influence the choices and opportunities available to families in terms of the quality of life for their children? well, disparity part comes in, like i said, the migrate children that a service in my daycare is not just me servicing the child. i service the whole family because if the family is not together, it means the child will struggle. so my goal is to help assist a whole family. so no one ever lives on the property. property is something that in america a bit, we all should never have to face because there's too many supplemental programs that can help and assist you and are their initiatives and bridging the educational gap for children from lower income families. yes, they do have a lot of programs like that. so do you p k 3 k in supplemented programs? so if you are from
1:56 pm
a low income bracket that you are able to get the child to vouchers, employees without worrying is my child going to get quality care. and i think every parent whether you're low income or wealthy, your job and your goal is to educate your children, but the safe at the same time i give i actually am on the network with i give advice and i always tell parents to go by referrals, if there's someone in your network work indeed has a child to send to most of the children in my care or through referrals. farrell is a very important because it allows you not to worry because that prior period already knows the daycare provider and do your homework and research everything that looks good is not always goal. so always do your research and everything is in a google search and you can look at reviews and you also can research that particular daycare. thank you so much dr. way about for all your time today. now
1:57 pm
the bank has become a popular term these days. it stands for dual income, no kids for couples who choose to forego kids and the extra expenses to then enjoy their disposable income on themselves. as a result, banks are often able to afford extra trips, luxury items, and expensive cars that otherwise would be completely unattainable. almost half of unmarried americans want to get married in the future, but only 20 percent say that they want to have a child. social media has accelerated, this trend, as thousands of couples are going viral, sharing the choice to opt out of parenthood. but while they are having fun and winning today, it doesn't always end up paying off in the long run. because it's important to think about later lives and who's going to look after you when you're older. i'm christie. i, thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything.
