I know a number of women who are un/homeschooling their kids who were working for pharma, medical field, or biology/engineering fields and left due to the paucity of g/t school options in the area, especially for hg/pg crowd. Some of them were the breadwinners in the family too.
There are a lot of factors at play with childcare, g/t options, and between academia/jobs. Tenure/rank, pay, health issues and benefits etc. - all of them can play a role in deciding who shoulders the lion's share of the childcare/household duties.
