If it’s (classic) liberalism that does that I’d say it’s probably because that’s what people individually want.
But I think it’s in many cases the other way around. For example, gender differences in career choices tend to increase with economic prosperity and liberalism.
Women have simply had servitude to the corporate machine packaged up as some kind of freedom. To say this represents any form of progress is delusional.
At least your corporate overlord lets you leave and has an HR department; a domestic overlord can be less kind.
That is progress.
The fact that it's also become an economic necessity is orthogonal and regretable. Bernie wuda won &c
Also, talking about differences, it turns out they may be more cut out for work than men, since they seem to be graduating from college at higher rates and are thus eligible for higher paying jobs than the majority of men! Maybe the old order was stuck in a local minimum, and giving women the opportunity to learn and work shook us out of it, leading us to tumble into deeper minima. :D (On topic with this thread kek)
Same corporate overlords would be less kind without oversight of the above.

Lots of jobs do not require degree and many degrees are useless. Or even negative in some societies with student debt.
University degree does not guarantee a higher pay. Many jobs requiring a degree pay little. While many tradesmen jobs pay good money.
