WHY SHOULD WFH BECOME THE STANDARD NORM FOR INDIAN WOMEN?
The Daily Guardian|October 19, 2024
Did you know that in India, only 20-25% percent women are part of the workforce, as against the global average of 47%. I am talking about the "Opt-Out" phenomenon which is more prevalent in India than anywhere in the world, and the whole psychology behind it.

WHY SHOULD WFH BECOME THE STANDARD NORM FOR INDIAN WOMEN?

Have you ever wondered why some highly educated and capable women are staying back home and choosing to "opt out" of their careers - temporarily in the beginning and ending up even permanently terminating their careers? In fact many of these women intend to "comeback" to their careers but reentering can be very daunting and difficult because often they have lost time, confidence, even relevance to re-enter the rat race. They feel they are still relevant at least to the family and hold onto that dearly and fiercely. Whether you believe it or not, managing a home is a full-time job. It's like running a small company, where there are things to be macro managed and micro managed. Career, of course, and nurturing your profession is yet another full time job. Add to that raising children and there are three full time jobs which one person cannot afford to perform, at least consistently or for very long.

The world is a bridge

Let's understand why Jesus and many sages call this world a bridge, an inn or a rest house. In our desire to hoard, get entangled in all sorts of attachments and build edifices, we forget that the world is a transit point, and we are mere passersby.
