Plebeian Sex on 'gender gap closing' - yes, love - with equal pay for equal work,
Well, you can't keep women "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" forvever ....can you?
Apparently bearing kids isn't as good as a career in the paid workforce....women are 'voting with their feet'...
Quote: all that means is that you bastards have forced more men into part-time casual so they've lost some of the higher average hours the poor bastards always WORK while replacing men in the best paid, comfy jobs with more and more useless sheilas - men work usually the exact same percentage hours more than women as the 'wage gap' is.
Correct, as noted by prof Bill Mitchell:
https://billmitchell.org/blog/?p=61595In the early 1980s, when the Thatcher government turned on the manufacturing and coal mining sectors, many workers were pushed out of the workforce into inactivity** (** defined in the article).
They were mostly older males, who had been the backbone of industry in the post-WW2 period.
From the mid-1990s, inactivity fell again, largely due to the increased participation of females in the labour force.
In gender terms, the male inactivity rate has climbed from 16 per cent in the March-quarter 1971 to over 33 per cent in the December-quarter 2023.
For females, it was 55.3 per cent in the March-quarter 1971 to 41.1 per cent in the December-quarter 2023.
So quite a dramatic shift in participation between males and females.Men not needed as much, in the age of industrial robots, AI and IT?

'Times are a-changin'....; I suggest you look at the
systems change needed to accomodate men and women in the new AI and IT-dominated world.
