Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Society is still adapting to women being CEOs and professionals rather than homemakers. Because of this, the unfortunate outcome is that we feel we have to be successful at both - in the office and in the home. Striking that balance is different for everyone.
I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.
We ought to have more women in various management positions, because women are the ones who decide almost everything in the home.
The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
We have a large pool of talented and educated women, and yet workplaces haven't necessarily changed to accommodate the reality of their lives.
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
In individual industries where female labour pays an important role, any movement advocating better wages, shorter working hours, etc., would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.
As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.
