Back in the more sexist decades, having only the man working created a "one worker per household" policy, creating an even distribution of jobs. Today we have more double income households and more zero income households. The smaller labor pool also decreased the value of labor.
I'm not saying we should return to that at all, but I do think we should be looking at this (like most things) from a quality-of-life perspective. Now, working outside of the home gives many people fulfillment and helped reduce sexism, so I don't think one worker per household should be the goal.
I guess I don't know what the solution is before becoming a post-scarcity society.
