The Hidden Myth of Child Care

I've always found the images and stories of women who do it all quite appealing but it's hard to imagine how juggling everything would actually work. Shani and I talked more about the ways child care stays hidden in the public arena. Do you think that that also contributes to the fact that we might undervalue that labour as a society? Absolutely because it remains largely invisible doesn't it? So we know it's often low paid, it's often cold low skilled but it's a highly skilled job... It's often performed by migrant women, women of colour and poor women. And the fact that it's hidden serves its continuing invisibility and devaluation which is social devaluation.
