I’m speaking on the level of principle, not implementation. There are a variety of ways you could implement this, but I think that is a secondary question to the basic principle that donestic labor exists, is socially necessary, and is, unjustly, not compensated financially. Most people in this debate, even left-leaning people, don’t acknowledge that.

If a homemaker is married, they are compensated by their partner (including alimony and child support after divorce). If a homemaker is single, they receive charity from government.
Some, but not enough. Men and women should be absolutely equal in terms of economic power, they currently are not.
That's a strong statement with zero backing. Who else should be equal?

This experiment has been tried and it failed miserably, read up on the Soviet Union.
