The Motherhood Penalty in Labor Force Involvement

Although it may appear that participation of women in the labor force has increased significantly in recent times, but that is not the case – at least not at the global level.  Even though the labor force participation rate for women aged 25-54 has undeniably increased from 67 percent in 1990 to 77 percent in 2021 in high-income countries, situation looks quite differently in all other income groups. According to estimates from the International Labour Organization (ILO), only 61.4 percent of women in prime working age were either employed or actively seeking employment globally in 2022, which is actually a small decline from 62.8 percent in 1990.

How eBay is Empowering Women Owned Business Online

In the unprecedented times of the global pandemic, we all have needed a way that we work. Something that often has gone overlooked is all of the other kinds of work associated with child rearing and keeping the house in order and how that dramatically changed when we were all suddenly stuck working at home. More often than not, these tasks fell to women shouldering an unfair amount of work from this burden. Not only that, but this meant limited work opportunities that require specific times with little flexibility.

The increase in women ratio in MBA programs

Discrimination among men and women over several subjects has always been a hot issue. Women have come a long way in this battle of discrimination.

Women Empowerment: The importance of financially independent women

Equal rights for women have always been debated for centuries, but now they are raising their voices and demanding their rights. There are several things that a woman can do just as good or even better than men and be as strong as independent as any other human. Success does not have a gender – it comes to those who are genuinely hard working.

The women’s full financial potential is often suppressed by many factors, which are mostly because of sexism and gender inequality. A more well-known statistic that you may or may not have heard that a woman makes 81 cents for every dollar a man makes, which may be true in some cases due to the wage gap that is unfortunately still a problem in our system. It causes adverse effects on women’s economic status.

The one year following the birth of your child will give you an idea about seeking professional help.
