So what do you suggest instead? I can see a few options
- nobody being a parent
- parents being bad parents so they can be good workers
- any work dropped on the floor due to parents stays on the floor until they're back
Options 1 and 2 lead to worse societies and therefore decreased efficiency in the slightly longer run.
I guess the last option would work the best?
Overall it should be blindingly obvious to everyone that parents work way more than non-parents, at least for the first ~7 years of their kid's life.

- vegai_ 5y agoSo that's kinda like my option 3. I kinda agree, although if "asking" includes an option of denying the request, then I think it's perfectly fine to ask those people who have more free time to do more work when needed. Note that where I live, things like this will usually be compensated 1:1 (sometimes better).
