Yep on second thought I don't think it's so much stable career or the availability of childcare as security overall, any way to answer "We can do this for 18 years no matter what" in the positive. And yes that's where capitalism and CDU bashing of "lazy moochers" strikes hard. Having a different job every six months and occasionally none would be right up many people's alley if it didn't put you into all sorts of economic trouble.
And the "we can do this for 18 years no matter what" thing was easy in the GDR: Don't do things the Stasi doesn't like, done. The SED went to great lengths ensuring that if you kept your head down, and push come to shove are willing to fill a hole another is digging (because duty to work), you really didn't have to worry.
