Navigating Motherhood and Career in a Post-Pandemic World

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the issues that women are facing in reconciling their obligations to their families and professional ambitions within an atmosphere of gender equality and sustainability. The authors review the extant literature, examine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on women's psychological health, and illuminate the significance of work-life balance in advancing gender parity and workplace contentment. By studying psychosociological aspects, we can gain insight into how the outbreak has impacted female mothers' roles and careers. It is important to keep in mind that personal encounters and prospects are molded by socio-cultural frameworks and regulations, which condition how women handle both familial life and job-related matters from a psychosociological point of view. Moreover, the pandemic has highlighted existing gender discrepancies in labor force participation as well as childcare duties.
