Yet again women are being used, just as they have for at least 60 years. They are coaxed into the work force where their presence will lower wages and increase unemployment, thus increasing welfare costs. There are too many people in the work force now.

Consider the effect of a two income family becoming a one income family, if they can afford it. First, a job for one unemployed. Second, one family off welfare. Third, a reduction in taxes because welfare cost down. Fourth, if the newly employed receives the same pay as the one who dropped out, no decrease in government revenue. Same revenue, less cost, there is a surplus. 

So clearly the country is better off with a reduced work force. 

It has taken about 60 years to get to our current perception that if you are not in the work force, you are nobody. And that is with business pushing and the media publishing articles like this. 
 
We need  low income inequality. The country gains. But that is another story (by Wilkinson and Pickett)
