Even as the pandemic winds down, its impact continues to reach far and wide. Working parents, who make up 40% of the workforce, are one of the many demographics that are still grappling with the new world of work.
The burden of child care has become increasingly challenging for working parents, as daycare facilities are often costly or don’t offer enough flexibility. Research shows that 34% of mothers and 20% of fathers say childcare concerns are a top motive for leaving the workforce. The recent resurgence of RSV and ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks have also made school and daycare closures a regular obstacle for parents, leaving them struggling to balance work and family responsibilities.
