>Typical grad stipends outside of top-5 schools are closer to $20K.
I am doing a PhD in Germany and get 54k €
The wage is regulated, everyone who has worked full-time at the university for a few years will earn the same. Although most grad students will earn much less, because most only have a part time position, and finish their thesis sooner.
In the first year without a full-time position, I was getting 20k €
>Yeah but then you subtract child care and someone might as well stay home because it's literally costing them money to work.
In Germany, child care costs between nothing and 500€/month depending on the city (e.g. in Hamburg it is free for 30h/week)
