> The simplicity and modernity that is often seen in Western Web Design gave these users the impression of not providing enough information, which made them uneasy and engendered a lack of trust.

huh, by adding another income to the family ? So, that should lead to a least a little more consumption.

Even if the average wage is reduced, I doubt it would be cut by half and result in 2 people working to reach the same salary as a single person before. You are not being very realistic here, since in Western countries putting Women to work has been a very effective way to increase households' levels of life.



Well, yes, it depends on the assumptions. Honestly, I have no idea how it worked out in the West, as I come from a country where 2 working parents has been the norm already for my grandparents. Maybe there is lack of production, and more employees could produce more, and hence get paid more (in average). On the other hand, (as I think you implied in another reply) there might be too many employees already, wasting time at work, and a lack of consumption. In that case, the only thing that 2 working spouses would cause is a redistribution in income (2-working-parent families would be getting comparatively more money, 1-working-parent families comparatively less).
