Working Women and the Conundrums of Family Benefits
Added 2019-02-07 18:51:26 +0000 UTCThe dynamic duo discuss the interesting philosophical and policy questions that flow from the fact that some people (disproportionately women) prefer to be stay-at-home parents. Is this a preference that should be respected and with benefit systems built around it or is it a preference that should be discarded as patriarchal? If you do build a benefit system around it, how should you do so?
These become important questions when talking about paid leave and child care policy and were both questions Matt had to confront when writing his Family Fun Pack paper, which will be published in the next couple weeks.
