The Unintended Consequences of Women's Liberation - David Goodhart | Maiden Mother Matriarch 111



The Unintended Consequences of Women's Liberation - David Goodhart | Maiden Mother Matriarch 111

"My guest today is David Goodhart, founder of Prospect magazine and Head of Demography, Immigration & Integration at Policy Exchange. David's new book, 'The Care Dilemma: Caring Enough in the Age of Sex Equality,' is the final installment of a trilogy of books on class, economics, and the family that began with 'The Road to Somewhere' and 'Head Hand Heart.' We spoke about the social and economic consequences of the mass entry of women into the labor market, why the government seems to regard unpaid care work as low status, and whether or not fathers are doing their share at home. In the extended version of the episode, we speculated on the long-term future of individualistic societies like ours that have failed to solve the care dilemma. 00:30 How are we suffering from the care dilemma 02:50 The GDP case for the stay-at-home mum 10:01 The tax incentive for a two working household 15:20 Early years ‘education’ 20:12 Over-regulation of childminding 24:22 Child benefit and means testing 31:32 Housing inflation 36:14 The fall of the ‘matriarchs’ 41:20 ‘Domestication’ of men 49:30 Pro-natal policies 52:30 A stupid financial decision? " from the video introduction
