Future Of Work: Women's Perspectives - (Part 4) Gender Norms And Telecommuting
Date: 9th October 2020

Worldwide, more than 1.5 billion children are out of school. This has dramatically increased the need for childcare. Based on the existing distribution of child care duties in most families, mothers are likely to be more affected than fathers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to accelerate changing social norms and  expectations and this is a possible gain, in the conversation of career/life balance especially for women.

The Women Leaders’ Hangout brings this conversation to the foreground by ensuring that employers see telecommuting as an opportunity to advance gender equality in the workplace.

Date: 3rd July 2020

Even before the advent of Covid-19, digitalization and the gig economy, demographic changes and the associated care crisis, and the demand of new skills are equally important as having a major impact on the future of work. Critically and as evidenced by recent research, these trends have specific implications for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The Hangout is looking to host webinars that point women and employers to the need of supporting equal access to education, skills development and training updates to meet the requirements of evolving labor markets.

The Hangout seeks to hosts expert led sessions that help women explore the risks and opportunities of finance and investments during and after Covid-19.
