| Working moms, this one’s for you—and for everyone aiming to do more than pay lip service to a constructive work culture. (Hope I’m not interrupting the two minutes of peace between the end of your workday and the beginning of your second shift on the home front.) The pandemic’s impact and other factors are drawing renewed attention to the structural barriers women face in fully participating in the economy. Need a view on the way forward? McKinsey’s Future of America podcast has you covered with a new episode featuring Reshma Saujani, who founded Girls Who Code and the Marshall Plan for Moms. “We have to stop trying to fix the woman and instead fix the structure,” says Saujani. “If we don’t fix the structure—through paid leave, affordable childcare, flexibility, all the things that make it possible for women to be moms and to work—we’re never going to get to equality.” Check out this can’t-miss interview, just in time for Mother’s Day. |
