[quote=spdrun]Simple solution: limit working hours to 35 per week + 4 weeks mandatory vacation + holidays for most W-2 employees. Combine that with national health insurance for all, so that employers would have to provide very minimal benefits — cost of hiring goes down.

No, that does not do it.
As OCR pointed out, it’s really two working issue. Even with two not working, the two issue is a problem because the income expectations are all geared to two working.
Even with 35 hour weeks, two working will be an issue. I know one major challenge we’re already looking at is once our child starts school, drop-off is 8AM and let out is 2:30PM, plus once every two weeks they either have a full day off or a half day off.
