Women Leaving the Labor Force in the COVID-19 Pandemic

This podcast presents trends and reasons for declining labor force participation among working women, particularly those who are mothers, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The podcast also reviews the ways mothers have previously been supported so they could enter the labor force and how the lack of supports for working parents during the pandemic could reverse earlier gains made by women. The podcast is hosted by Kathryn Anne Edwards of the RAND Corporation.
