I haven't read, but read a brief summary. Thanks for sharing.

It felt unintuitive to me at first. Why would two incomes be more risky than a single income? But yeah if one of those two become incapicated/unable to find work.. you are screwed since you need both. Single income you essentially have a backup (assuming they can find work)

So, reduced work week would free up needed time and reduce convenience costs, but families are still exposed.

But I don't want to go back to a single income household at a societal level (doesn't sound like EW did either). Tricky.
