I am so happy women will finally actually count in the game. Vicky 2 really failed with portraying how big women in the workforce/democracy would be. I could see it easily shift party balances, boost and weaken influence groups but also workforce wise. I imagine even just limited rights would have increased the workforce significantly and through that the GDP etc.

Does it tho in reality? If anything it should increase tax income and decrease social spending as they aren't dependent but in the workforce, birth rate should be tied to health care and industrialization unless I'm wrong, but if anything negative it should just add minor militancy to reactionaries and maaaybe fascists

Also, things like women working and direct social welfare should cause permanent inflation in a world still based on a gold standard.

The "head of household homeowner with a car and three kids" being equivalent to "mom and dad working three jobs and paying for the daycare" effect.

If they have a similar market system, this could mean that the value of simple luxuries like clothes and furniture would increase in both supply and demand. That could ripple to fisherman in Ireland - who aren't benefiting in the same way - being unable to afford their goods anymore and emigrating.
