benefit everybody - that will give everybody a chance or not bell-mckoy says the more we can encourage legislators and others to explore this approach - the more it will increase long-term economic success for all americans. in washington, morgan wright.

intention, it is happening. he says, the gap may be because parents are giving boys physically harder jobs that can take longer, such as mowing the lawn or washing the car.meanwhile, girls are getting chores like cleaning, babysitting or other domestic work.
