>I'm not economically literate enough to understand how it's possible that increasing the supply of labor *DOESN'T* decrease the price of labor.
I told you, increased womemes in the workplace is a function of increased worker demand. Women weren't "brought", they started working when
-ww2 caused a good portion of men in society to go to war
-technology made the figure of the stay at home mom increasingly less necessary. Before mass tech the housewife could not be done away with because being an housewife was the equivalent of a full time job. To give you an example, after WW2 both my greatgrandparents were poor as fuck (I'm Italian) and my greatgrandmother had the role of a full time farmer (she had to cultivate crops or they'd starve) plus that of a housewife which alone took the same effort of an actual job and she also took care of 10 kids in order to raise more money (my great-grandfather was instead a coal miner).
