Work-family balance: How does managing family responsibilities impact women's careers?

Managing family responsibilities can have a significant impact on women's careers, often leading to a difficult balance between work and family life. The societal expectation for women to undertake more caregiving responsibilities can result in reduced professional opportunities and hinder career progression. Women may face challenges in accessing promotions, job advancements, and networking opportunities due to the time and energy devoted to their family obligations. Additionally, juggling both work and family responsibilities often leads to increased stress, burnout, and a potential decrease in job satisfaction for women. This imbalance can ultimately lead to a gender pay gap and hinder women's long-term career prospects.
