Fifty years ago, we came close to building an amazing childcare system in America. We'd seen how successful childcare had been during WWII, when women went to work in factories and temporary care was put in place. Kids thrived. But after the war, women returned to homemaking and years later, when the topic was revisited, there was backlash over what it would mean for families if moms worked, and the Government balked. But here's the thing: In those intervening 50 years, we've seen exactly what happens when moms work. The economy grows! And when we invest in care, like we did during the pandemic through the American Rescue Plan, children benefit. Yet we're still in utter chaos when it comes to care and there's a steady refrain that it's every family for themselves. What is this crisis really costing us? Not just today, but tomorrow and for generations to come? In this frank and candid conversation, renowned economist Betsey Stevenson, Reshma and Tim talk about how we got here, what's at stake, and what it will take to change the future.

“By many objective measures the lives of women in the United States have improved over the past 35 years, yet we show that measures of subjective well‐being indicate that women's happiness has declined both absolutely and relative to men.” This is the opening line of a Yale study conducted by Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers. In this episode, we make the final and missing connection between why feminism has eroded women and the declining happiness rates of American women. We leave it with the unpopular suggestion, that MAYBE! Just Maybe, Feminism has FAILED women.
