In full agreement. It's frustrating that increasing paternity leave and encouraging new fathers to spend more time caring for their children is not highlighted as a potential solution.

Doesn’t work. See Sweden. Men who do more parental care work and up having fewer children. People still end up costing between work and family.

The goal is not necessarily to eliminate that choice, but to stop it falling disproportionately to women. By that measure, Sweden's high female labour participation suggests that it's policies are a roaring success.
