How would increasing the share of women in the work force help when there is a finite supply of jobs and it's not enough to keep the men in work? It'll be even less if they take the axe to the public sector as planned.
I guess a lot of the women are housewives and so kept on their husbands' incomes rather than claiming benefits. If they started working unemployment claims would rise.
It's all about euphemisms init. Instead of saying we worse off, they say house prices have gone up, more women working instead of that families needing both partners to be working, GDP/productivity up instead of saying wages are down.
