OHYES. This is the next step in equality. I hope it will address one particular Catch-22: she's paid less, so it makes more sense for her to be the one to give up work and look after the kids, so her career is the one that's affected, so she ends up being paid less...
When I come to power, workplaces will include mandatory creches. OHYES.
