[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you support paid family leave and universal affordable childcare, and candidates that push for those policies. [/quote] This. We make childbearing very difficult on working women. If we’re not careful we’ll end up like Japan, where the birthdate isn’t enough to replace the aging population. [/quote] There needs to be a balance. The Dutch are great with supporting families. So good that few mother’s of young children work FT. Which is fine I guess if you are sure your DH will support you for the rest of your life. But if you want to ensure you have a decent independent income and retirement, you need to work for decades FT, not 5 years before kids and ten after the next is empty. [/quote]
