You're not a father clearly, you clearly don't understand how a 2 working parents relationship work. I'd urge you to listen instead of trying to internalize the issue, and discounting the reporting on it.
In the real world daycare works on banker hours. Usually you have to get there when other people are starting work, and you have to get there usually when people are leaving work. If you're late, you'll be charged a not insignificant amount of money PER MINUTE. This matters a lot when you realize how much day care is (it costs literally more than my mortgage...).
Think of the impact on having on average an hour less "working hours" than your coworkers per day.... By the way, you're not going to be able to just make up the time when you get home.... you have a child to take care of when you get home.
This is not an incentives problem, this is a logistics issue.
- sheepmullet 10y agoIs it solely or even mostly a logistics issue? IMO, the software industry is one of the most flexible industries. I've had flexible hours ever since changing into IT more than a decade ago. And yet we have a large gender imbalance.
