Women, Labor, and Social Safety Nets
This chapter examines the personal experiences that shaped the speaker's perspectives on social safety nets, particularly through the lens of their mother's life and challenges. It discusses the undervaluation of labor, especially in women-dominated sectors like education and childcare, while highlighting the impact of systemic inequities. The narrative calls for an equitable transformation in support systems for families, particularly in light of the increased burdens highlighted by the pandemic.
