Other way around - women in the workplace are almost entirely to blame for declining marriage and birth rates.
For some people that's not an easy thing to admit or acknowledge. It doesn't mean that the small percentage of women with more male brains who want to work and actually pull their weight should be absolutely barred from achieving whatever they can achieve... but most women would be happier and more fulfilled raising families.
Who wants to marry and have children with a woman who works? You think I'm going to drive kids to school, make kids lunches, pickup the kids from daycare, cook dinner, keep the house clean and then listen to a woman complain about Chad at work before being told she's too tired and stressed to have sex with me? Lmao. The problem isn't a ban on relationships in the workplace, the problem is women working.
Yes I agree. Now deflate the currency and make it possible for people to raise a family of 5 again with one man's income. Until that happens women are going to be in the workplace
It's actually very possible on one income. Buy a small house that isn't made of the newest materials in an okay area. Have the woman cook all meals from scratch. No eating out. No alcohol purchases. Woman buys basic clothes. Man buys bare minimum for clothes. No Netflix, no Amazon Prime, none of that garbage. 1 Used vehicle.
No vacations. Done.
What you really need to do is lower taxes. With women at home to home school why are you financing public education? Cut income taxes down by abolishing public education and it becomes even more feasible to raise a family on one income.
The problem is that most people think they should be going on 3 vacations a year, newest Mercedes, fancy house, restaurants and lounges everyday etc... You don't need any of that and your grandparents in the 50s didn't have that either.
Is that really a normal thing? I'd sooner shoot myself than date anyone I've worked with. Then again, since 2020, the "I've worked with" part of that sentence is unnecessary.
I feel like the implicit total ban on relationships in the workplace is at least partly to blame for declining marriage and birth rates

A lot of times especially in the past the woman would quit her job to raise a family when she got married.
it happens a lot today
As it should be but in reality, they shouldn't even be working. They should live at home until they marry.

Possible != practical. Sounds like living without really living
Who the hell ends up marrying a co-worker?
2016 had a worse fall in birth rates than 2008. The reality of women is setting in and everyone is running for the exits.
My parents for one. They met at work. Stopped working the same job before they got married though.
And I only said it's part of the reason, of course there are many other components

Go right ahead
