[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because WOMEN’S salaries can’t support a family and often can’t even cover daycare.[/quote] This is why, and why things need to change. BADLY. - Females are socialized to take pink collar, lower paying jobs. - Women are paid less for the same work. - Women are mommy tracked when they continue working. - Women's earning potential decreases dramatically after kids. - Women are pressured to take jobs that allow flexibility for kids, but those usually come with less pay. - Women are typically younger than their husbands, so they have been in the workforce less time and so make less money. The "solution" for many families is for mom to stay home or take a lower-paying job. But this makes the problem worse. Instead, we need societal structures that allow women to continue working for the same salaries (such as flexible workplaces and affording childcare), and for dads to take an equal career hit.
