This podcast episode discusses the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on women's employment and the challenges they faced in returning to the workforce after the pandemic. It highlights the unique challenges working mothers faced, such as lack of childcare options and the continued presence of COVID risks in service jobs. Despite these challenges, women are returning to the workforce in greater numbers, contributing to increased consumer spending and supporting the economy. However, the return to work raises questions about caregiving responsibilities and the need to create a genderless approach to address this aspect, recognizing its impact on both men and women.
