Promoting Gender Equality and Tackling Demographic Challenges

Inability to draw obvious conclusions is a paralysing feature of ideological commitment. Research here from IMF is a predictable example - increasing female LFP rate universally correlates with both economic development and demographic decline, yet it is a conclusion which cannot be made, so the recommendations are accordingly inadequate. We need a pro-human economic system, not one which throws piecemeal benefits to working mothers. It’s not going to happen, so we’re going to have to wait for the robots.
