After pandemic-induced career break, women making big comeback
This comes after a large number of women were forced to drop off during the pandemic, when many had to bear a disproportionately higher burden of household work. Moreover, with schools and day-care facilities shut, no domestic help at home and caregiving responsibilities of the elderly, many women put their careers on the back burner. However, the widespread adoption of remote work post pandemic and proactive efforts from companies to hire returnees are helping them stage a comeback.
