Sounds almost like that if we (putting the hard hat on and hiding under the table) find a way to exclude one parent from workforce, things will get back to normal.
I wonder if a future advanced society will support women who want to have large families during their college/educational years.
Our family had 2 children in the dorms while I was getting my doctorate, and they were a joy for the floor (e.g. we didn’t require the emotional support animals they were sending to every floor). Also, having the communal environment was ideal for finding child care here and there.
A situation like this would help such women reach their (per Pew research) goal of ~3.
Imagine if you had free tuition if you had a child while in college? Raising children while young is also super helpful activity wise…
