My new Substack is about part-time work for parents. In the Netherlands, 65-75% of mothers work part-time and about 30% of fathers do. Part-time work is supported and even encouraged by the government. Why can’t we pull that off here in the U.S.? open.substack.com/pub/darbysax...

Why don't more U.S. parents work part-time?
Paid work vs. stay-at-home parenting is not a binary choice - many parents want something in the middle. Other countries have figured out how to make it work.
