The pandemic that has sickened and killed so many people has been devastating in other ways, too — primarily to America’s women.
And the setbacks may be permanent if we don’t act soon.
A new survey of 65,000 US workers from McKinsey and LeanIn.org found that a whopping one-third of women said they were considering quitting their jobs or reducing their hours.
Female workers were more likely to say that they were burned out.
And more of them were discouraged now than they were in the early, shocking months of the pandemic.
And that too many men have also failed women — as bosses, colleagues, partners and co-parents.
The factors fueling female burnout and American women’s extraordinary pandemic job losses are many and complex, but they generally fall into two areas: policy failures and personal ones.
We need to assess both if we ever want to see anything close to gender equality in this country. (CNN)
And there is a growing shortage of childcare workers.
