If females are denied good job opportunities in Japan, they'd be less inclined to work at all.
So if your first sentence holds true, then this kind of discrimination actually should help Japan's reproduction rate.
- doombolt 8y agoThis is not what is observed to happen. The observation is that they will cling to worse opportunities, delay having children or avoid having them entirely. See e.g. France vs. Italy.
- ijlkr 8y agomaybe my reasoning only applies to big cities? In manhattan daycare is like $3k/child. To break even, one has to get paid ~$5k, since there are federal tax/city tax etc.
- ijlkr 8y agoWhat happened to France vs. Italy? I'm curious.
