Issue #11

I agree with the European polices Hewlett mentions. I think that government should help to make it easier for women to go back to work by putting some of the "parental needs" toward the father. Giving both parents paid time off from work when a child is born is indeed a good idea. I also think the name-blind job application forms would be a good idea because it eliminates prejudice in terms of gender. If the employer doesn't know whether the applicant is male or female then when determining which applicant to hire it doesn't come down to gender, just their experience. I also think having both women and men on a staff would lead to better production because women and men think differently and can give different perspectives and ideas.
