I tried Google's NotebookLM "radio conversation generator" on my paper about taxing robots (the irony!). I was blown away by the results. Are robots and AI coming for your jobs journalists? 😱

25% of German firms provide childcare (on site!). This seems to provide retention benefits to firms: mothers are more likely to return to work AT the firm they were previously employed at. (It doesn’t seem to affect the return to work decision overall)

@MartinHaus93 @annastansbury Thanks a lot  for the question! It is the latter, so 25% of workers are in those firms. (And some of the firms in this number may also provide/buy off-site services for their workers to be complete.)

@annastansbury Is it 25% of German firms or 25% of German employees working in a firm providing childcare on site?
