Sons and Daughters of Working Mothers:Successes and Challenges
Thursday – February 23, 2023 (1:15 – 2:30 PM EST)
What woman would not want to see more men take a more active part in sharing household duties? A multinational Harvard Business School study a few years ago determined that sons of working mothers are more likely to grow up to assume a greater role in caring for family members and participate more actively in household
responsibilities.
The U.S. government continues to press for more childcare so that more women can be employed outside the home and fill numerous job openings that are going begging. But is this government strategy given the rapid and radical shift that has just taken place in the American labor force?
This event should be viewed by working parents as an opportunity to learn from
experts in the field and make good choices for themselves and for their children.
