Global gender gap report estimates 80 years to reach equality

Quoted: Janet Hyde, a professor of psychology and gender studies at UW Madison, has been doing research in the area of work, life balance. She says it’s hard to say if 80 years would be the accurate measurement of time to close the gender gap, but there are some ways to accelerate the pace of change. One of those would be on employers to help alter the work, life balance. Hyde says they could do so, by offering on-site, affordable child care and three to six months of paid parental leave.
