Is there any particular reason why you are assuming that housekeeping and child rearing should be the exclusive responsibility of women?
I'm struggling to see any honest point in this comment.
- trianglem 6y agoI said saying only 20% of women are involved in labor in India is incorrect. That number is much much higher if you take those into account.
- managerclass 6y agoThe statistic is saying that 20% of women in India participate in the workforce as it is defined. Are you trying to say that the 60% of Chinese women includes women who are homemakers and aren't in the workforce as it is defined?
- volgo 6y agoYou’re wrong. Every country would have 99% labor participation rate if you count those. It’s not meaningful The fact is only 20% of women are not getting paid for their labor. It’s a sign of huge lack of development progress
- foggyeyes69 6y agoI think OP was making a statement about how things are rather than how they should be. I agree with you that this shouldn’t be the case, but right now it absolutely is the case in India.
- oblio 6y agoOP's comment doesn't add anything of value in that case. In 99% of cultures out there, traditional roles imply that the women is a homemaker. Nobody reasonable assumes that women not counted in labor participation statistics are partying on the moon :-) I.e.: we already knew what he's saying.
- trianglem 6y agoA childcare facility shows up in labor statistics, why shouldn’t a mother’s labor?
