DESCRIPTION:An Annie Macdonald Langstaff workshop with Jennifer Nedelsky\, 
 Professor of Law and Political Science\, University of Toronto.\nAbstract
 \nMy project addresses three serious problems that afflict\, in various fo
 rms\, virtually all modern industrial societies:\n\nThere is an unsustaina
 ble structure of work and family life that puts enormous stress on familie
 s\, and forces workers (at all levels) into untenable choices between work
  and family\nThe shift in gender norms and the inequality of women improve
 s at a glacial pace\, leaving women with less pay\, less economic security
 \, vulnerability to poverty\, less leisure time\, less access to top jobs 
 and to other advantages such as high quality health care. More generally\,
  equality for all cannot be achieved without a just distribution of care w
 ork.\nThe policy / care divide means that those in top policy making posit
 ions are almost always people with very little experience of the demands (
 or satisfactions or importance) of care taking. In my view this means that
  policy-makers are\, for the most part\, ignorant of a core dimension of h
 uman life. This renders them unfit for the job. Those who do have the requ
 isite knowledge and experience (primarily women) have very limited access 
 to high-level policy-making positions.\n\nMy argument is that these proble
 ms can only be redressed by a radical restructuring of work and care pract
 ices. I argue that we need a fundamental shift in social norms\, so that t
 he expectation of ALL is that we will work part-time and engage in care wo
 rk for family\, friends and community part time. This paper is an explorat
 ion of what such an optimal norm would look like.\nPart of the Annie Macdo
 nald Langstaff Workshop Series\, organized in collaboration with the Centr
 e for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism\, and the Feminist Collective.
