Research indicates that after having children, the wage gap between men and women expands substantially. This is largely due to more mothers opting for part-time jobs like child care or other family responsibilities over higher-paying full-time roles. Unfortunately, this perpetuates a cycle of gender inequality in the workplace, hindering female workers from achieving their potential career success.
Female employees contribute immensely to the success of any workforce, and companies that recognize this demonstrate their commitment by providing maternity leave benefits and flexible working conditions and investing in public services. Encouraging women to return after taking a break is necessary for successful employers. Companies must make it easier for returning women and show how much they value female employees in the workplace.
