Future Of Work: Women's Perspectives - (Part 4) Gender Norms And Telecommuting

Worldwide, more than 1.5 billion children are out of school. This has dramatically increased the need for childcare. Based on the existing distribution of child care duties in most families, mothers are likely to be more affected than fathers.
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to accelerate changing social norms and  expectations and this is a possible gain, in the conversation of career/life balance especially for women.
The Women Leaders’ Hangout brings this conversation to the foreground by ensuring that employers see telecommuting as an opportunity to advance gender equality in the workplace.
