I identify with a lot of the issues this article brings up -- I might work a part-time position with flexible hours that allowed me to be there for my son both before and after school, but full time work would take me away from my family more, and the cost of daycare (and potentially housecleaning help) would offset a lot of the financial benefits of extra hours. So I choose to be a full-time stay-at-home dad instead. I also find it interesting that this article uses the terms "ahead" and "behind" to describe much of Europe compared to the US, but the details show a much more ambiguous picture. European women are more likely to be in the workforce, but European women in the workforce are much more likely to be working in low-level positions with low wages, limited hours, and reduced opportunity for advancement. So it might be better to say that Europe and the US have chosen differently on the tradeoff between number of women working and the quality of jobs women hold.
