Society has moved toward dual income. The result is lower salaries, lower marriage rates, lower birth rates and less parental supervision. In addition there is higher stress, single parenthood and divorce. Has dual income truly been a benefit?

The pandemic has forced people to reevaluate their lives and we're realizing there is more to life than ones profession. If people choose to stay home with their kids, why should we shame that? I make the lesser income in my relationship and I expect to stay home when we have kids. One thing my economics teacher in college explained is that a lot more families could have a stay at home parent if people actually dug through their budget and saw if they could change their lifestyle slightly and do it. Two major American expenses that can be the dividing line between one parent staying home is the cost of childcare and a second car. If the parent with the lesser income is less than those, staying home makes more sense. Having a parent around is good for kids and we shouldn't shame moms or dads who want to stay home with their kids for a few years or work part time or start a business with more flexibility than working in an office. Working in a cubicle isn't the pinnacle of achievement and again, the pandemic made a lot of us realize how fickle businesses are and that we are disposable. If we are going to be treated with the same concern as a paper towel, why shouldn't we shift? And if that is starting a side hustle and staying home with your kids, then good for us! Companies like Workday will have to compete for workers to come and work in the cubicles instead of workers competing for few jobs.

Money has become worthless, can’t afford a home, can’t afford rent, can’t afford food, can’t afford anything. Why would any one work when you get very little back from your hard work.

"fewer" not "less" women return to work. is this really cnbc?

Huge, important gender debate in the comments. Then there’s me: Why tf does the dude at 1:50 have half a beard???? LOL

"Oh? That right. I have children..." Theyll spin this that youre all "reoppressed"..

Will FEWER women return… not less. Women is the plural of a countable noun, not an uncountable one (like coffee or air, of which there is “less.”) CNBC: Please use proper grammar, thank you. This is elementary school stuff.

Every time I see this guy….I get it’s a medical condition but just shave the other half of the beard instead of looking like a marvel character

Will men return to the family? Got to be some one to take care kids.

I don't have children, but I'm positive I would prefer to raise them rather than having society do it. Why is it a step backward to raise your own child? There is a reason child care is so expensive. It's vastly complicated and important. Not every parent should quit working and take care of their children, but those who do should not be judged. Technology is decreasing the amount of real work there is, so pay people more for meaningful work and let others participate in society by raising their children, creating art and/or making discoveries. Money should be a tool to create the life you want, not a slave driver.

There is no intention of improving childcare for working women. It was pathetic 50 years ago and it is still an issue. It’s obvious who is running that.

Hopefully they will get married and have kids. Women are designed to and thrive raising a family. Wages will go up and women will respect and appreciate their husbands for being the breadwinner and providing them a family lineage. Everybody wins. When women go to work everybody loses.

But why are you using words "woman" and "parent" interchangeably?

Since when prioritizing the family and taking care of the children has become a problem? What I can see is that, these "economist" want to have women in the work force in order to increase competition ergo reducing the salary..

I don’t even need to watch the video to know the answer to that one. It depends if they have children young enough to require supervision. So many day cares have closed that it has to be considered as a factor limiting employment of at least one of their parents.

They will but they all looking at the working home jobs. You already know they going to give most of those to women off top

Re: Thumbnail Should read: Will FEWER Women Return to the Workforce? Not LESS Women. You guys are a news organization, right? (Is that why you took the word out of the video title?)

I'm.. 50 a.n.d m.y. husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debt's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.

So... explain this to me. A woman could work at 45k/year for 10 hours a day (counting the commute) and have some stranger raise her kids up until age 10. Daycare here is at least 2k/mo, right? So after daycare expenses, she's making poverty wages and doesn't get to see her kids. I don't think putting kids in daycare and having them raised by a stranger (as well as picking up bad habits from other kids) is the best solution. If white collar jobs really want women in the workforce, companies need to put the money where their mouths are and allow the primary care provider to work from home. Or maybe work from home for 3 days and go into the office 2 days for a half day on each of those days. Parents need to be in their children's lives! They shouldn't have to grow up in daycare. Wfh would also allow parents to play a much more active role in their children's education. Like if they find out that the school is trying to indoctrinate their kids with Marxist ideology, they can pull them out of school and find a better way to get them educated on math, science, reading, writing, and history.

With work from home, there’s more opportunities to return to the workforce

1:48 Dan guy has got half facial hair wooooahh 💪🏾✊🏾

TBH I didn't understand a thing that was said in this video... From my observation, women are working everyday. From grocery stores, to hospitals, to remote office work, etc. Whatever the argument is about, it seemed unnecessary and biased. What about the MEN taking on more riskier and labour intensive jobs/career like Garbage collection, Sewage cleaning, construction, auto repair and mechanics, technical repairs, etc? There is a huge demand in those industry that women can participate in. It ain't glamourous but it certainly helps with the Equal pay argument. But it seems that excuses and false reasonings were made to justify why there is a decrease of women in the workforce...

I have no idea what this is even about. If you're a woman like me who's fresh out of college, is purpose driven and with a lot of ambition, then you need to be working. Gray areas are meant to be filled. End of story. That being said, not even the pandemic slowed me down or stood in my way of getting employed. I'm proud to say that I was able to stay in the workforce during the whole fiasco, and I'm continuing to be a part of the workforce, while everyone else is just choosing to sit at home on their asses instead of going back to work. Hey, that's fine with me! I'll take your job! And probably make even more $ at it. In fact, those of us that have been vaccinated will probably be taking over 60 to 80% of the workforce by next year. So, thank you all! - for the awesome career opportunites that have now become so abundant!! It's about time future generations were allowed to get a foot in the door when it comes to REAL career roles. So glad to have finally gotten mine. 😉👍

Women would love to return to work, after being out of work for over a year. However, there is SO MUCH race, age, and time lapse discrimination in the labor market. It's unbelievable. If you want workers, then more employers need to hire mature applicants of color who haven't been in the workforce consistently because they have been caring for others. The problem is, not enough employers are letting go of the mindset that a person should "retire" at 50. They're not accepting that people are living a lot longer. People do not need to retire at 50, or even 60 or 70. They can contribute years of work experience and skill to your company. They can learn to new skills! Employers must know that everyone who is applying to a job isn't going to be white and 20-something. Just get that in your head. If you need workers, then for God's sake, you've got to hire the applicants that are availabe and plentiful. Stop holding out for this "idealistic" employee you see on television advertisements (e.g., blonde hair, blue eyes, and chiclet white teeth). Those people will diminish in numbers as years go on. The REAL WORLD is DIVERSE. It consists of people of color who are living well into their 80s and 90s. HIRE THEM and stop making up excuses about them not being "qualified". What can you do to help them meet your qualifications? Can they be trained, reskilled? Stop throwing away applicants, then you employers complain later about "no one wants to work". That is a load of crap. You had better know that, soon, applicants of color is all you'll have to choose in the pool of applicants!

Is this a serious question...i mean are you seriously asking if one gender will return to the workforce? WTF is wrong with you people. Folks that want to work (male OR female) will work, those that have the resources and DON'T want to work...won't work. Whether they are male or female matters little, the businesses that need people need the RIGHT people, not the "diversity" that society has decided businesses "need" because of some ridiculous crusade of trying to make the workplace "reflect" society. I mean is it more or less important that mothers of children that are at home work? Is it more or less important that fathers of children that are at home work? Stop with the woke garbage and focus on what's important and that is that companies hire the right (by right i mean most qualified to do the actual job) person for the jobs that need filling.

Large corporations and wealthy elite lobbyists pushed for this for decades

Is no one going to mention THE GUY WITH HALF A BEARD. Lol Edit: He is a burn victim. Also a master level troll.

1:48 did anyone realise that he is half shaved lol

Better question to ask - will managers allow time for family or are they still stuck on time spent on seat and pizza parties?

Is there a reason why not one American woman was interviewed for this video? None of these people know the culture and the difficulties the women they are talking about face.

Some of us are at a point, in our lives, where we've seen the benefits of the "workforce" disintegrate over the decades. Pension's have turned into 401K's, healthcare benefits have sky rocketed in cost; diminishing quality of care etc...

1:48 WHAT IS THAT BEARD??

Men's salaries don't stretch as far as they used to. I know some SAHM who make it work by being budgeting masters, and more power to them, but for the average family, it takes two salaries to provide a good quality of life for your children.

Will Babies Return To The Workforce?

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣what with the guy at 1:48 😂😂😂😂😂

Really CNBC? A countable noun requires the word "fewer", not "less".

My OCD regarding that man’s haircut Jesus

Why tax payers should pay for other kids childcare?

In few months or no time people will definitely be kicking themselves in regret for missing the opportunity to buy or invest in cryptocurrency. Can my fellow investor's say HELLO.

They will not. No one will return to the workforce.

CNBC real needs more creditable looking people holy cow.

According to BLS Women made up half of the workforce. But men and women were fired during the pandemic. More women were, because they worked more in the fields that were shutdown.

Children taken care by society? 😂😂 - Good luck! The wife of professor Severus Snape is hilarious!

l recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago, can I get those persons who invested with her comment below let's gooo

I’m not sure what this video’s purpose and I’m glad I’m not the only one

Hi nick thanks

Live to work or work to live?

*I Hope So*

That depends on whether their Onlyfans page was a success or not.

What is happening to the guy at 1:50? What's with his beard?

The wicked have failed in all their predictions and now they are going against our children. Don't be fooled again.

OMG 😳 we have found two face 😈 1:47

Yooo what's going on with the guy with the half beard lmao 🤣

I really don’t mean to be insensitive but is Dan Ariely okay?

Fewer women, not less.

No

This feels so out of touch on so many different levels...

Who cares about men? Anyone?

Maybe there are fewer proofreaders at CNBC.

John McAffee did NOT whackd himself

I hope not

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career purpose is a result of how they make and plan in their investment. The stock market is really a good means of income having a good manager in the stock market in the likes of george anthony I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

Fewer* women.

I can’t stop looking at the guy with a half beard… why? Did he loose a bet, is he messing around? Lol

fewer

How am I supposed to take what the dude with the half beard is saying seriously?

Alert Egoistic Feminist hate coming.

NICE VIDEO!! Very engaging from the beginning to the END. Nevertheless Business and investment are the best way to make money irrespective of which party make it to the oval office.

FEWER

Infrastructure = concrete. Social systems = enabling things to flow better in society, like child care. Stop this Orwellian redefinition of words!

Recognition of women’s work and value of that work through fair pay and equal treatment in society would be beneficial for all. Wherever that work takes place. What defines work? Is it defined by whether or not one is paid for it? Is it the time and energy invested in activities that contribute to society? If we are placing value on work, then all work needs to be valued.

nah fam

Women

So no one noticed this guy has only one side of his face shaven ?

A guest on The Wall Street Journal Report spoke sometime last week about making over $631,000 in 4months with a capital of $100,000, which made me realize that as a beginner i have alot to learn, so please assist me with any pointers or tips that would help me make this much profit.

Delete this

Intellectweb are the best.

Poor dude forgot to shave one half of his face before a tv interview.

Please tell me that is a skin condition

so nobody going to talk about that guy beard?

Will *FEWER* women return

*fewer women

Intellectweb.

Brace for the incoming triggered feminists and white knights.

Will FEWER women return to work

Chats for half bearded man here

Wow, cool..but, you..dont..loss..look chanel okay bang 😅😇😇

It seems like all these "high minded" people on this episode has to offer is hatred towards women. It has been a GOOD THING that women are staying home with their kids because of the pandemic, Thank you COVID for keeping women home. Why? Look at divorce rates, childhood obesity, young adult incarceration rates of kids that grew up with a working mom vs a stay at home mom. When both parents are working outside the house, the home falls apart.

Wtf is up with that mans beard

They want the authority of men with the privileges of women, and the accountability of children.

Fewer lol

If only you know what the future says, you'll know that indeed cryptocurrency is the future, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do. Hold!!! And you"'ll thank yourself

Hahaha

Lol…

Why don't he shave the other half

⛔⛔⛔⛔🚫🚫🚫🚫

Baloney,...most of the supervisors and managers in my company are female,...

We need more women to work so they can support us stay-at-home men who take care of the kids.

I just couldn't go over the man with half a beard !! is it a surgery ?

Well , If most women become like those woke feminists then , woman labour force will certainly decrease . However if women still believe in working to earn , then I am pretty sure a lot of woman will return to work as soon as unemployed benefits end .
