Women and “mums” are taking on almost the entire weight of caring roles, and yes, this is an enormous problem. It results in ongoing economic disparity between men and women. The huge gender pay gap, the dearth of women in senior positions, lower superannuationbalances, gendered housing insecurity, and women's higher risk of poverty in old age can all be traced back to this.
