What would happen to the economy/size of wages if all women who didn't need to work stopped working and gave jobs to men?

What would happen if all the men at work were forced to give their job to any woman who could do it better? THAT would be good for productivity.

How do you define who 'needs to work'?

Why should a woman not be the main or equal bread-winner in a family?

What if a person chooses to work to make money to give them more choices in life? Isn't that their right in a free society?

The way I see it, employers want whoever can do the job well at an economic rate. In some countries without a philosophy of social responsibility, that can mean wages get driven down.

Restricting the size of the available workforce would tend to increase wages but would reduce profitability and/or raise prices. There is a balance to be struck that can only be influenced by government enacting the will of the people.

If you favour survival of the fittest, then you have to accept that some people will get chewed up and spat out and left to rot ... and it could be you or someone you care about.

Collapse of the Economy, if by the term 'Didn't Need to work' you mean are married or could be supported by family.

I suspect you have no real grasp of Economics.

The GDP of a country is decided by how efficient the Economy is and also how productive, reduce its productivity and its GDP goes down.

And why in heaven's name would Women want to stop working?

Are you from planet Misogyny, and a Dinosaur, you sound it?

How sexist of you! There are plenty of MEN who could stop working instead (Frau Merkel's husband, for example).

Salaries are in part a result of economics; supply and demand. If people who didn't need to work stopped working, the supply would fall; this means that unemployemt drops and that salaries will probably go up - at least in certain fields.
