Dear Colleague,
There has been a fundamental economic transformation: in many high-income countries women now participate in the labor force for much of their lives, the authors write. The earlier pattern of a woman entering the labor market but dropping out following marriage and children is now the exception rather than the norm.
The compatibility of women’s careers and families is key. “Investing in gender equality—and especially the labor market prospects of potential mothers—may be cumbersome in the short run, but the medium- and long-term benefits will be sizable, for both the economy and society.”
