The wages for those jobs would need to go up. I don't know why the most important jobs in a society like cleaning are some of the worst paid and looked down.

Since we're fantasising about an ideal society I'd get rid of wage slavery entirely.

I agree the best jobs are the worst paid, but I think the absolute most important are jobs like child-rearing, and they're usually completely unpaid. It's basically a complete inversion between pay grade and importance.
