Why do women do less well out of our economy? Didn't the feminist revolution of the 1970s deal with all that? We speak with two women about a significant moment in women's lives that happens to be a key moment in their financial lives - becoming a mother then deciding when and how to return to work. Fantastic conversations with Melinda (mother and careers counsellor), and Professor Guyonne Kalb (economist at the University of Melbourne).
(With cameo appearances by economist Professor Barbara Pocock, and MMT organiser Rohan Grey.)
