> When it becomes a systemic problem, i.e. women earn a significantly lower amount based on their job choices, there is an issue. I disagree. E.g. in the Netherlands, many women (mothers) choose to work part-time (4 hours) to be able to spend more time at home (presumably with their kids). I think it's great that the governments supports this choice, more governments should follow! (You could use the same argument for other job choices; maybe more women choose to be e.g. teachers despite the lower salary, because they enjoy working with kids!) Sure, they earn (much) less, but in exchange they have a higher quality of life, so I see it as a perfectly valid choice/tradeoff.
