I'm a freelance journalist covering business, economics and gender. I started my career at Reuters before working as a financial markets correspondent for The Wall Street Journal in London and then serving as business editor of The Independent. My book, WOMEN MONEY POWER, out in March 2024, is now available for pre-order.
Both mothers and fathers who are employed in the labor market are refraining from using parental benefits that are available to them, out of fear of being judged, penalized or discriminated against, according to new research.
Based on narrative interviews, the researchers found that mothers harbor fears of being judged as “less capable” or “less committed” and that, as a result, many are even driven to hide their “parental identities and responsibilities” at work. In some instances, this drives women who feel unable to balance their professional and personal duties to quit the paid labor market altogether.
Commenting on the findings, Alison Green, director of WOMBA, notes that a lack of psychological safety in the workplace is likely what’s preventing people from taking advantage of parental leave and other related benefits.
