The point of these measures is not letting/forcing both parents to work. It's to make both genders equals in the eye of the capitalist employer. So, depending on the job and remuneration of the parents, maybe just one can work. And this working parent can be the mother.
- ceilingcorner 7y agoIn theory, yes, but unless the cost of supporting a family can be done with one job (as it used to be), then this is kind of a moot point. Both parents can choose to work part-time, but typically that means they'll be in poverty.
- darkwater 7y agoWell that depends on the social class and the country where the family lives in. But yeah, what you say is true for too many families even in the richest countries.
