It's a damn clear logic to me. --Employers show reluctance to hire women of certain age--. It is same in India with govt's liberal policy of maternity leave, overall employment rate of Women has gone down.
Resources do not come out of thin air. Something has to happen for it to change:
1) Govt provide income to family engaged in child raising activity. -Need high level of tax base and political support to actually fund it.
2) Govt open free and quality child daycare. - Again need political support and competent administration to do it.
3) Force private employers to pay. - Only business survive are with high income and revenues. Not gonna work with conservative politics.
4) Go back to old joint family structures where grandparents stay in same home with couples and provide "free" child care. - Needless to say absolutely not gonna work. Its antithesis of progressive vision of society.
5) Keep giving examples of other countries. Useless until one look at whole societal structure and find why many other things work in USA but not in those countries.
