Listen now
Description
According to new research from the Utah Women and Leadership Project working mothers felt guilt as both a parent and employee during the Covid-19 pandemic. Having had so many additional responsibilities and expectations piled on working parents’ shoulders, it is no surprise mothers felt like they were falling short and even failing on both fronts—home and work.  In this episode of the State of Women in Utah series, host Lindsay Aerts talks with Dr. Susan Madsen, Executive Director of the UWLP and Emily Bell McCormick of the Policy Project. They also disucss several other findings of the research including how caretakers say they had difficulty managing both their home and work responsibilities, lack of support at home and at work, and the perspectives of single mothers, other caretakers, and mothers of color.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
