Question

What would the population be if men were forbidden to work?

Answer 1

Larger,I would imagine

Answer 2

the population would be controlled by men whose only duty is to see to it that women take care of men, I don't like anybody telling me what I can and can't do

Answer 3

I dont think it would be any different

Answer 4

Pretty much the same I guess, as the women would be at work so the opportunity to procreate would not increase much over what it is now.

Now, if women were also forbidden to work...

Answer 5

Bored...

We would fight amongst ourselves and reduce the male to female ratio to something like 1:4 by killing each other. The population would drop by 3/8 and remain pretty much steady.

The other thing is that women would be more tired, more stressed and less likely to conceive because of the extra workload.

You might think I'm being faecetious but I would seriously consider this as one of the possible outcomes.

Answer 6

Who knows.  But women would say that we were incapable, lazy parasites.

Answer 7

i thought we were suppose i will have to get a job now

Answer 8

What are your hypotheses on why the population would change?  Do you think that if men were forbidden to work, they would have more s*x?  Or that men develop more of the forms of birth control, and thus we would have fewer forms of birth control?  

I'm not sure what you think the mechanisms are between population and men working...
