In this episode, we welcome writer & mother of four, Virginia Tapscott, co-author of the book "All Mothers Work: A revolutionary plan to truly liberate women and fix failing care systems“.
Virginia shares her powerful journey of realising the systemic undervaluing of care work and her mission to empower parents and advocate for true support systems.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about redefining the narrative around motherhood, challenging societal biases, and creating a more equitable future for all caregivers.
In this episode we discuss:
- The complicated relationship between the feminist movement and the devaluing of caregiving work.
- The value of parental care in the first three years
- Why we never want a system where the best interests of children are competing with financial profits
- The organisation of our current national economy needs work inside the home to be done ‘for free’ in order to function
- Key policy changes needed to better support unpaid care work, such as superannuation on parental leave and reducing for-profit dominance in childcare.
- The misuse of research for ideological purposes
- The economic and long-term health impacts of low birth rates and the need for better support for unpaid caregivers.
- The creation of a society that relies on dual income
- Challenges Virginia faced in self-publishing her book "All Mothers Work" and the importance of the Kickstarter campaign.
- The precarious financial position many unpaid carers face.
- The importance of men engaging more in unpaid care work.
- Legitimising unpaid care as work
- Changing our own language to reflect the worth in our unpaid care
- Systemic failure vs personal responsibility
