ขาย : Education the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world by Nelson Mandela?
No matter who you are if you have an education you can change the world. Even if you do not attend school as a child you might gain an education by learning from yourself and others. This is why it is said that you never stop learning. And then the other kind of unfortunate piece of the data ... is that women actually face a higher penalty for using things like remote work options than men do, because they´re assumed to be using it for child care or other types of caregiving reasons.They are discounted by their employers and penalized for taking these kinds of remote work options, passed over for opportunities for promotion, for example, and seen as less committed, even when men are taking the exact same opportunities. We saw this massive increase in women´s employment during the war. At the end of the war, those women almost universally wanted to keep their jobs - they wanted to stay in the paid workforce. But the easiest short term thing to do for the economy, once men were coming back and wanted their jobs back, was to push women back home.
And this is not what many of our peer countries did. Other countries, like France, used this as a moment to completely restructure their economies, to build national permanent child care programs that allowed women to stay in the economy. A: Being the default caregivers for kids and for the elderly, and for people who are sick, or destitute in our society. And then on the other side of the equation, also filling in gaps in our economy.
Women hold 70% of the lowest wage jobs in our economy. And they´re also the ones who disproportionately hold underpaid jobs at every sort of level of education that they might have. Things like child care, reading comprehension 1st grade worksheets things like home health care, things like even K-12 teaching. We structure our economy and we structure our society in ways that push women into doing that work and then underpay them for that labor in ways that trap them in that system of exploitation, in similar ways to what we do at home.
And this is deeply damaging for women and for families in terms of the cost that it has for their well-being, for their stress levels, for their economic parity. During the pandemic, I talked to so many moms who described things like hiding in the bathroom, eating sleeves of Oreos to cope with the stress of having to work from home while also caring for their kids full time. Calarco, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studies inequalities in family life and education.
She is also the author of "Holding It Together: How Women Became America´s Safety Net," published last month. It's a double edged sword in the sense that on the one hand, having access to remote work can be tremendously beneficial for moms in that it allows them to be in the workforce and to have an income in ways that if they´re dealing with a child care crisis and the only option that they have is to work for pay in-person or on site, that could push them out of the workforce very easily.
