Did you know?

73% percent of Indian women leave their jobs on giving birth

40 % of women opt not to work post maternity, thereby making it the topmost reason for female attrition

Even among those who manage to return, 48 % drop out within four months of rejoining the workforce.

What are the challenges?

There are a number of challenges that play as a deterrent to joining the workforce again.

Lack of Confidence

Women may face a limited number of available job opportunities due to career gaps or employer biases.

Limited Opportunities

Maternity can impact a woman's confidence, making it difficult to believe in their own abilities to perform in the workforce.

Non inclusive work culture

A workplace that isn't inclusive of family life and support can discourage women from returning to work post-maternity.

Disparity in Pay & Structure

Women may encounter pay and structural disparities that make it difficult to achieve the same level of success as their male counterparts.
