   1/ Does the job/family dichotomy exist only because of certain assumptions we make? In hunter-gatherer societies, the men would've hunted while the women and older children would've gathered, with the young children either being carried or playing within the earshot of their mothers. In pre-industrial agricultural societies, the women would've run cottage industries and the kids would've been around the house.

      2/2 Today, we force women to make a choice: Career or family. This is the case even in the Nordic countries. The welfare state hasn't been able to fully compensate for gender differences. Men are still the main breadwinners. I think there exists a possible society where people can combine their jobs with their families, as people used to do in pre-industrial societies. @debbie
