"Return to the workforce" is such a dystopian paradigm. What could be more important or more valuable to society than caring for those who need it? Why would "professional" caregivers be part of the workforce, but the loving care from a family member is considered valueless? Why aren't we lamenting that more of our elderly are shuffled off to die basically alone, instead of fretting over some percentage hit to the economy? I like the efforts by California and Biden to expand leave, but just take issue with the framing of parts of the article. (I wonder if the decision to exclude child rearing and other family contributions from GDP calculations was one of the most dehumanizing long-term forks in the world's history. But I'm far from well-informed on these complicated economics issues.)
