Alyse is refering to Sterba's plan that him mentioned in section 8. I agree with Sterba that having paid maternity leave for mothers, parental leave for both parents, time off when their child is ill, and a poclicy that subsidizes the costs of childcare, would all help shrink the gap between men and womens housework. Giving both parents equal opportunity to take off for their kids will encourage parents to alternate who stay home, in the case it is also shrinking the gap that gets created when women have to take off from work to attened to their child allowing men to further their carrers faster.
