The rising female labor force exodus

The Round Table podcast episode discusses the recent trend of women leaving the workforce in the U.S. and China, comparing the challenges and barriers in both countries. The conversation begins with the "she-cession" during the pandemic, followed by a "she-exit" due to return-to-office mandates and childcare issues in the U.S., while China faces a drop in women's workforce numbers post-COVID. The hosts analyze the impact of flexible work policies, the role of employers, and the broader economic consequences, highlighting the need for affordable childcare and supportive policies. They also touch on the economic impact of women leaving the workforce and conclude with a "Motivational Monday" segment, using a quote from Wayne Gretzky about taking shots and striving for continuous improvement.
