The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
Workplaces still operate like it's 1962 and one person is always at home, and they are not very good at adjusting for the fact that a majority of women work and take care of children.
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.
It's important for women to work. They need to keep their independence, to keep earning and being challenged.
Because there still exists a significant pay gap, women tend to earn less than men over the course of their lifetimes. Compounding the problem, women tend to spend less time in the workforce than men.
Unless we include a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, women will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is.
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
There are less opportunities for women.
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
