Perhaps we need to value nurses and teachers, and many other female dominated professions, more highly.

I worry moving all the teachers and nurses into trades will have some knock on effects that might not be so great for the economy in the long run.

Yes obv. Doesn't change the fact that women chose these jobs by themselves. It's peak femininism, everyone can study what he or she wants.

Edit: If you edit your post substantially please show it.

-So you want to tell women what they should work?

If you don't like communism then there is a market price for your work. The market pays for work that was clasically done by men more.

Indeed. And, believe it or not, there are quite a few people who are not entirely convinced that that is the optimal situation for society or the economy, especially given the extremely high non-monetary value of these jobs.

True but we live in a (capitalistic) society that tries to fit everything in it. And how do you solve it?
