The first category is a field dominated by women, the second by men.
There's your unemployment gap.

When the times change, it's time to change the strategy: create jobs for men by getting all the women pregnant.

')So basically, you are saying, China is, as it has been, for many centuries. The only change in the last few centuries has been an improvement in the degree of consolidation of the frontier territories. They are more Han than they have ever been, and better connected to the East than ever before. When Joe Merchant of the West wants to ship product, do you think he is going to want to send it West over dirt roads, mountains, and crazed fanatics, or do you suppose, he'll send it East to the coast, over giant paved roads patrolled by Han military forces?
China not only will survive, but will likely survive intact.

Performance of the past is not necessarily a guideline to performance in the future.
You have also forgot one important thing:
They have over 1 billion peoples too much and these peoples are likely to refuse to go peacefully for common good.
On the top of it their 1 child policy looks in practice like 2 children policy (1.7-1.8 registered children per woman).
And anyway, do you really consider sending merchandise to the East to be important activity in coming years?

Nice cherry picking, Tyler.
What about countless (and not really needed) clerical jobs across countless companies, what about those jobs requiring good interpersonal skills, what about supermarket jobs, other customer care jobs etc?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('odegaard', 'T')his recession is killing off jobs that we will never see return.
If there's only 1 job opening and 2 people who want it: a man and woman who will get the job?
I believe that modern feminism was made possible because oil / cheap energy made the economy expand so there was plenty of paying jobs for BOTH men and women.
Once oil dries up so does feminism.
That's my theory....and that's just the beginning phase.
I expect to see this happen within my lifetime --> society returning back to the single income family.

You see, full belly environment have created a lot of value added jobs (mainly for women) which are nice to keep but yet not essential for functioning of society.
Countless jobs of this type have been legislated in, just to create an income opportunity for someone who would otherwise stay dormant in bedroom and bathroom environment.
However it is so nice to go here and there to deal/buy something and be greeted by nice female.
I think, it is worth to keep them working if they want for as long as possible, but my overall view about prospects of preserving these jobs after TSHTF is very bleak.
Of course few of these jobs will stay for a while because of male ego of some bosses who will try to keep highly ornamental females in their offices until they get bankrupt themselves.
Fools!
