How much of that is child care switching from not counted to being counted? Women were working before that, just in an uncounted way

- cma 5y agoIf it went from 1 provider on 2-3 child care to 1 on 20 daycare, the effect is similar to if it had been counted anyway. One significant source of uncounted labor was removed with the washing machine. Enormous amounts of time were spent manually washing clothes. But automating this likewise had a similar effect to making child care more efficient and increased downward wage pressure elsewhere by allowing more to enter other parts of the workforce.
