Though the care-load can affect everyone, women are disproportionately saddled with what sociologist Arlie Hochschild termed “the second shift” –the unpaid household and childcare/eldercare duties that follow a paid workday. This can directly contribute to inequities within the workplace.
This webinar will look at the current and historical facts surrounding caregiving & work, the current caregiving crisis, the impact on individuals, organizations and economies and its contribution to work-family conflict and workplace inequity, and the overall tactics and strategies for positive change and gender equality.
