You're correct, I should have phased that something along the lines of.
It is assumed that having both parents in the workforce should produce better economic outcomes.
I also agree that there may be a negative net effect on the economy. But I have no idea if there is evidence for this and think it would be very hard to accurately research this given the number of other variables you'd have to account for.
There is some evidence that there are economic benefits to women entering the workforce. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jors.12336 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jors.12336
- Spooky23 8y agoThere are economic benefits to women and families. I think it’s fairly sensible to propose that the doubling of the supply of workforce has impacted the price paid for labor. The old fashioned troops and notions that hurt women in the workforce hurt men outside of the workforce. Guys with wives who make more get a lot of grief. When problems happen, it’s nearly impossible for working age men or couples to get safety net benefits.
