Irish women regardless of education don't want to return to work even when they can. Will only do so when situation is perfect for them. Obviously they all have men working full time.

Had a gal that wanted to marry me.

She had 65k in students loan and a STEM masters but her goal was to be a stay at home baby maker.

> They don’t want to work because work doesn’t work for them

Well, that's unfortunate, because I'm so lucky that all my works really work for me! I mean, when I was on my mid 20s I actually chose to leave all my friends and family behind and move to a different country so I could actually get a job which I wasn't able to find in my own country!... Even now, I'm working a soul sucking job, but hey it's not like i want to spend time with my children or anything like that!...

Women need "choices." LOL What they're choosing here is a guaranteed wage gap. Which they then proceed to bitch about.

Being married and not working puts them in a position of power over their husbands if they divorce.

Two girls my wife went to school with.

a) lives with a man in the oil patch, who pays for literally everything. She's mid 20s, has a decent job working for the government, but she doesn't pay a single bill. She's ostensibly a firm feminist, but she doesn't mind at all being a kept woman and living off of someone else's work.

b) bragged about how she was going to work only long enough to get pregnant, and then hop off onto mat leave and be a baby momma for the rest of her adult life. Lo and behold, she ends up working where I do, works the minimium to qualify for maternity, and gets pregnant. 3 months into the pregnancy, she's in a 'car accident' that partially detaches her placenta and so cannot work. The problem is that my wife is Facebook and Instagram friends with her, so we know the entire car accident is bullshit.

Captain Obvious: Since they don't want to work, maybe we can get rid of quotas for having women in the workplace.

Punish them punitively for not returning to work. This should include no spousal support if the females files for divorce. Men should not expect to financially support lazy females that they are no longer effing.

Punish women who do not take advantage of feminism.

More than two thirds of women who work in the home and have a third level education do not want to return to a paid job, according to a survey issued today.

In research conducted by SOLAS on 218,000 women on 'home duties', not participating in the labour force and aged between 20 – 64, the majority of women – regardless of their education level – said they did not wish to return to the labour force.

OK, they are happy where they are.

Some 18,000 of the 122,500 (15pc) women women who are on 'home duties' and have attained a Leaving Cert qualification at least, do want a job, but are not available as they are looking after children or for other personal/family reasons. There are 90,800 or 74pc within this grout who do not want a job, the survey says.

More info.

Ultimately, there are over 16,000 women who are classified as “untapped potential” according to Solas and could be attracted to joining the workforce.

Untapped potential? Is there a labor shortage in Ireland?

As for attracting these women to the workforce, the right conditions such as childcare, flexible working hours, and taxation could be of help according to researcher Joan McNaboe.

Of course. So why not create these conditions for everyone if they're such a good idea.

She described the findings as a “punch in the gut” but agreed with Ms McNaboe that the right conditions may attract women to work.

So I guess these women's free choice in life does not meet her expectations.

“It’s all the old chestnuts, remote working, better access to childcare, all the nuggets that we know are holding women back,” she said.

“They don’t want to work because work doesn’t work for them rather than they don’t want to be economically independent.”

So that's it, the problem is that they are dependent on a man. Can't have that now, can we?
