Remote Work and Gender Inequality

Deb Perelman's NYT article portrays how remote work disproportionately affects working moms.

[REBROADCAST FROM AUGUST 13, 2020] One of the inequalities that this pandemic has laid bare is the fact that, for women in particular, working from home means working more and with little relief. Food writer Deb Perelman wrote a piece in The New York Times, titled "In the Covid-19 Economy, You Can Have a Kid or a Job. You Can’t Have Both," about the stresses and sticky situations this pandemic is forcing women to navigate. She joins us to talk about her experience as a working mother on lockdown, and we take listener calls sharing their own stories.
