> Increased remote working or changing the core hours people work would both solve the issue of adults not being around during the day. If you plan on spending you're remote working hours supervising children, your not really working. Working at night will not allow more time to supervise children during the day. I'm not convinced the OP was suggesting that limiting women's rights was a solution, merely that increased female labor participation will result in less time spent with children. > There are plenty of good solutions that would work well I'm not sure there are many. > progress we've made towards equality We've made progress in some areas, and regressed in others. This is an issue about the amount of available time. Focusing more time in work will divert time from other activities. There is no other way of looking at it. edit:spelling

If you plan on spending you're remote working hours supervising children, your not really working. Working at night will not allow more time to supervise children during the day. Remote working means you don't waste time commuting, you can be available during breaks because you're already at home, and you can step away from your keyboard and be there immediately in an emergency. All those things are huge benefits over office work if you have kids. Changing core hours doesn't mean working nights. It means things like starting at 6am and finishing at 2pm, so you're available to look after your kids in after school hours, or starting at 10am so you have time to take your kids to kindergarten. Or, as you say, working at night so you can be there all day (if you're one of these lucky people who don't need much sleep.) There are solutions to this problem.
