Happy Women’s Day!

March 8, 2018 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

I talked today about women, women’s caregiving responsibilities and the budget with Danielle Smith on CHQR 770 in Calgary. Enjoy!

This is either a picture of a family supporting each other, or a family stepping into a sci-fi adventure on a different planet marked by dramatically more red sunsets. Your pick.

    You made a number of excellent points in this interview! Very true that we don’t value women’s work in the home nearly enough. Sadly, this is probably a problem of women’s own making, because feminists placed little value upon the traditional work of mothers in the home. To this day, women who retreat from paid careers in order to focus on home & family are viewed as undermining the goals of feminism.

    As far as government programs though, personally (and as a mom who is now looking for work after 9 years at home) I would love to see more programs for mothers who are “relaunching” into the workforce after a significant career break!! There is NOTHING like this out there at the moment (here in Canada) and it would be a great help. Without such programs, taking years out of the professional world is basically career suicide for many women, and they know it – it’s a zero-sum decision where the mother has to choose between building up her career at the very time when it needs the most attention and the needs of her young child(ren). As a society, we urgently have to find a solution to this problem – until then, Is it any wonder that there is such demand for daycare?

    There are wonderful organizations popping up in the U.S. that help mothers re-enter the workforce, such as irelaunch.com, and it would be great to see these initiatives in Canada as well – both in the private sector, and through government programs! If young mothers had the confidence that they would not lose their chance at building a career by taking a career break of several years, this would surely lead to more women making the choice to stay home with their toddlers.
