Overview

Although the majority of mothers in the United States work outside the home, women today still do the lion’s share of housework and child care. How can we better balance the workload at home to ensure that women have the time and energy to invest in their careers and men have the opportunity to be equal partners and active fathers? As the second installment of our three-part series “Work & Family: Getting to 50/50,” this meeting will help you develop strategies for creating the work/life balance that works for you.
