I think it's pretty obvious that when you get past Gender Budgeting 101, it is difficult to extricate women from the fact they exist in families. There are children, there are elderly people, who are all in women's lives. There are very material consequences if, for example, women aren't able to enter into the labour force because they are engaged in unpaid care activities vis-à-vis these family members. There are consequences if income level becomes the decisive thing in providing these women with a choice about whether they can.... You know, you get stuck in these situations where, if you don't make enough money from your wages, you can't afford to go to work because it would cost too much to have child care, elder care, or what have you.
All of these things affect every member of the family, because families are inextricable networks in which an effect on one affects all.
