Recent years, women's participation in the workplace has been declining in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but in fact women's participation in the workplace continues to be low. Barriers to women's career paths are evident, including the unequal distribution of domestic work, the gender wage gap, the high cost of childcare, and the lack of paid leave. This, combined with social distancing caused by COVID-19, has devastated the jobs with the highest proportion of women, such as hospitality or retail.

The article discusses whether new policies to support families and women at work, including child allowances, waiving paid parental leave for childcare, and increasing the number of women in senior positions, can increase women's participation in the labor market rather than quitting their jobs to stay home with children for financial and family reasons.

The fact that professional women have such a difficult path to both survival and advancement is not just because women are biologically built differently. It's more about a lot of historical and cultural context. Company management needs female leaders because there is no real empathy in this world. The likelihood of trying to get male leaders to understand women to improve the environment for female staff is not high. There is a need for more female leaders, not just in companies, but in society. They need to be able to have their voices heard and seek equality for thousands of women. Politics is frankly a career choice and women in politics are also far less successful than men. So, we have lost women's voices in politics, and we need to reclaim them and take their views seriously. I want to learn more about the statistics and realities of women in politics and seek out possibilities for change. Having a voice is vital for women. Women should not wait to be rescued by others but should take the initiative to seek solutions to the plight of their own gender.
