Parents Under Pressure: How to Ensure Their Well-being at a Time of Historic Stress
Working at home, schooling at home, stuck at home–the pandemic has put unique burdens on parents, especially women. How are they coping after more than a year in crisis–and what is the toll on their well-being? How can the exodus of women from the workforce be reversed? What strategies can employers put into action to help reduce parental stress–not only on an immediate basis, but in terms of long-term shifts in policy and investments in their maternity and parental benefit programs? And what are the latest insights into ensuring their success, both at home and work?
