Being a housewife has still much more economic value than the average woman in the workforce, and that's even after artificially skewing the market by outsourcing house work to illegal Mexicans on slave wages.
An average housewife used to take care of the kids, prepare healthy food, clean the house, do the laundry, take care of the elders, trim the flowers in the garden, help with homework and give emotional support. Think about all the people you need to employ to do all those jobs and their cost.
On the other hand at the workplace women are failing, they hardly create new businesses and therefore don't generate any new jobs, they hardly represented in jobs that are difficult, dangerous, physical or technology related. Not even in music where they usually perform but don't create, how many women bands do you know? A huge chunk of them are working in government positions, basically being payed by men generated taxes, the collective "men" replaced the husband. There is an average wage gap of 25% but in terms of true contribution to the economy the pay gap should be much higher, we are bleeding money to enable this feminist utopia which turns out to be more of a dystopia.
It will be much better for everyone if women will be encouraged again to become housewives, not everybody as there are exceptions and some women should be in the workforce, but the whole ideology of women must go out to work need a second thought, that's for sure. A lot of women will miss the social aspect of going out to work and we should also think how to bring back the village environment into our cities, like setting up common places for cooking and other home related work, being stuck in a suburban home 1950' style is also not going to work.
