The sad or horrific reality of many necessary aspects of life like health care, child care and education is that they are simply inefficient. And there really aren't solutions for them. You always need certain number of people to manage small number of patients, kids or pupils.

And there won't be any huge productivity boosts unless we somehow reach full automation, which I doubt won't happen at all...

In the end even with government subsidies these sectors really can't be high paying outside small number of specialist. And governments probably must subsidise them to improve productivity elsewhere.

The biggest inefficiency is that a child care facility occupies real estate that parent care does not.
