Our generation has dealt head-on with a lot of issues, and it has made life easier for our daughters and granddaughters (and nieces and great-nieces, too). But I'd hate to see us hung out to dry financially. This issue needs to be resolved in time to help us, too. I always appreciate your sage comments, Duchess.

They did it on the basis of anti sex discrimination legislation, because the majority of part time workers, and workers who drop in and out of the workforce, are women. It came too late for me, but should help younger women.
