Flex time, maternity leave, etc. only serve to reduce child bearing. Have you not examined the evidence? Or does your “heart” tell you that you have the answer?
I haven’t seen that data. Please link to it if you have it available. But keep in mind my goal is not to increase or decrease child-bearing. I was simply saying there should probably be reasonable ways to accomodate mothers with children that still allow society to benefit from their participation in the work force. The choice should not be solely between women having no children at all and working vs. quitting work entirely and staying at home to raise children. I’m looking for a middle ground.
