Job sharing and child rearing are two SEPARATE issues...

Perhaps child rearing is a common justification for wanting to job share,
but there are many other reasons why an individual might want to job share.

So let's not consider job sharing as a fringe benefit which only benefits
those who choose to raise a family.  Personally, I would be interested
in job sharing so that I would have the frequent 3- and 4-day week-ends
that I could use for backpacking, skiing, projects at home, ...  I can think
of MANY reasons other than child rearing!
