Reading Values by Mark Carney. In it, he discusses his desire to encourage more women to join the workforce, primarily by expanding government programs such as childcare.
Personally, I find his framing a bit odd. Rather than aiming for more women to work, I think the goal should be that women have the option not to.
Equality of opportunity is important. Women who want to work should absolutely be able to. But I don’t see how a higher number of women in the workforce is inherently noble.
I’d prefer a society where women can truly choose whether or not to work, as was more common decades ago.
