In 1924, it was 40 hours per household. Most workers had a wife to cook, clean, and raise the children. It should still be 40 hours per household. Women, men, and enbies should all work 20 hours a week. Anything more than that should have legally mandated overtime.
Maybe if we did that, the zoomers could actually afford to get married and have kids.
And to be clear, cooking, cleaning and raising the children is a full time job itself.
That means modern families where both parents have jobs are all working overtime.
Pretty sure it wasn't? All sources I could find seem to indicate that average work time as fallen a lot on the pas century world-wide
.That one's biased. It doesn't consider reproductive labour to be labour, which is a social bias rooted in historical misogyny that devalued "women's work".
And even then, it should have had a spike anyway during the feminist revolution, when half the population stopped working "0" hours. It doesn't count women who didn't work. It only counts people currently in the workforce. It hides the fact that's twice as many these days.
