Two in five working women are facing anxiety and #stress issues due to the #workfromhome situation, a recent report by Pink Ladder finds. The study said that women are becoming victims of the “double burden syndrome”, juggling both personal and professional commitments.
The situation is not unique to India. A McKinsey report last year had said that women working from home were feeling more exhausted and burned out than men, causing many women to contemplate dialing down on their careers. While the remote work option has also provided more #flexibility, experts say it has been tough on women as they are the primary caregivers. “We are facing a talent glut on the one hand and losing women from the workforce on the other. Companies should provide child care and domestic support and address such issues before they go and mine the talent,” Ashwini Asokan, co-founder of computer vision and AI startup Mad Street Den said.
