HEARTHBROKEN WOMEN

With Children

Women trying to raise children while working in the Public Domain are exhausted, depressed and experiencing high levels of anxiety. In addition to their weekly work in the public sphere, women work an average of 22.5 hours at home and often bear the emotional burden of managing a home in ways we cannot quantify. Mothers who work at home report feeling lonely and disconnected.

Meanwhile, women and mothers who choose to work in the Domain of Care sphere are often seen as oppressed, misguided and unmotivated by women who work in the public sphere.

Without Children

Educated women working in the Market struggle to find suitable male partners who share their values and income potential.

Many young women who have watched their own mothers or peers struggle have realized that “having it all” is a myth. Citing a poor outlook for the future, a growing number of Americans are choosing to forego having families altogether.

Despite their stated desire to have children, half of all women who reach age 30 will go on to experience “unplanned” childlessness.

To keep their homes running, women have increasingly outsourced their homes to the Market.
