If You're A Man Or A Woman Or Have Ever Had A Family, Look At This Chart And Go, 'WTF, America?'

The people in America are on their way towards equality — at home and at work. The policies though? Notsomuch. This chart (and America's reality) is what happens when politicians (and policies) fail women, men, and families — and babies! — for 20+ years.

All is not lost! Family-friendlier policies would help! From the White House:

One study estimated that U.S. female labor force participation would be 6.8 percentage points higher if the U.S. had implemented a suite of family-friendly policies.

I first saw this great GIF chart on the lovely Tumblr I Love Charts. This chart was made by Betsey Stevenson, who's an economist at the White House! There are a lot of other charts about women and men's ever-shifting roles in education, work, income, family, and more.
