SPONSORED CONTET

AGE FRIENDLY EMPLOYMENT

“During the pandemic, approximately 2 million women reportedly left the workforce because their jobs evaporated, changes to their job requirements prompted them to walk away, or because they felt called to caregiving responsibilities to family members when schools shut down and nursing homes presented danger to elderly relatives,”

wrote Anne Stych in Bizwomen.

“…Now, the labor participation rate for women, especially mid-career women, is roaring back.” You’ll find the details at https://www.bizjournals.com/bizwomen/news/latest-news/2023/07/returner-programs-workers-career-gaps.html.
