Women in Tech Have Been Pulling a ‘Second Shift’ for Decades

From WIRED.com:

‘The increased rates of women leaving the workforce as the pandemic stretches on are an important indicator of the unsustainability of doing multiple jobs at the same time. The majority of women surveyed in a 2021 report from Deloitte stated that increased workloads at their jobs, increased responsibilities at home, and a “lack of work-life balance” were crucial deciding factors to leave their jobs during the pandemic. From February 2020 to February 2021, 2.4 million women left the paid workforce due to pandemic stressors, according to Pew Research, which also reported that Black women and Latinas were disproportionately among those leaving.’
