Women and Careers
The percentage of women in the workforce has

child rearing and a later return go back to work with a job that
allows flexibility when they are older.

child care, flexible work policies, and a willingness to
be accommodative.

Organizations and Employees

opportunities for upward mobility.

relocate.
