Remote work may have fueled a baby boom among U.S. women
It's election season and I've been out talking to voters, who share their life stories... what I would say is that there are many women who are choosing WFH because they either can't afford or can't find day care, which may lead to deciding that hey, they might as well have another baby if they are now committed to this employment model. I've spoken to several women who were over-qualified for the jobs they had taken to WFH, but felt it was the best job situation for their families - spouse could then take on new career opportunities when both weren't struggling with commutes, day care, etc. So this article feels like it is overlooking the way women have stepped up for their families often to the detriment of their own careers.
