High childcare costs are putting British mothers off going out to work. It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This not only damages Britain’s economic prosperity—it limits women’s careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isn’t. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they couldn’t.

Despite claims made by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到来的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring government spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland.

In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the position has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.

So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on improving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line.

The IPPR report points out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher proportion of government money getting to the front line.

阅读《苦恼》中的下列文字，回答问题：

“这个星期我……嗯……我的儿子死了！”

“大家都要死的……’’驼背咳了一阵，擦擦嘴唇，叹口气说，“算了，赶车吧！

赶车吧！诸位先生啊，车子照这么爬，我简直受不了啦!什么时候他才会把我们拉到啊？”

“那么，你给他一点小小的鼓励也好……给他一个脖儿拐!”

“你听见没有，你这老不死的？我要给你一个脖儿拐啦！要是跟你们这班人讲客气，那还不如索性走路的好！……听见没有，你这条老龙？莫非我们说的话你不在心上吗？”

于是姚纳，与其说是觉得，不如说是听见脖子后面拍的一响。

“嘻嘻！……”他笑，“好有兴致的几位老爷……求上帝保佑你们！”

姚纳挨了打，还嘻嘻笑着“求上帝保佑”打他的人。这一情节折射了他什么样的心理状态？
