Our findings underline a stark reality: while progress has been made, too many mothers still struggle to balance caregiving with meaningful employment. Employers and governments alike must step up to ensure that inclusive, flexible, and family-friendly policies become the standard – not the exception.
When mothers are supported, society thrives. The time to act is now.
