In this article it talks about how women are increasing in the workforce and will keep increasing. Attendance for women at works lacks comparing to men due to many reasons. A progress of women’s pay comparing to men’s does not show equal pay. Women in the workforce make about 76% of what men make. The pay gap still exists and employers need to recognize this.

There is a growth in mothers in the workforce. These women work anywhere from full time to part time a week. Two in three women with children younger than the age of 6 work part time. In 2011 3% of mothers with children younger than 6 were self-employed. Many working mothers are finding entrepreneurship to be a great option mainly for the flexibility of the hours.

Maternity leave is the time off a working mother takes either during or after her pregnancy. Maternity leaves differ with pay, some companies offer it, others don’t. Maternity leave varies state to state and it also varies with different companies. Some are less lenient than others. There is a law made in 1978 called the Pregnancy Discrimination Act that denies employers to fire or move an employee down from their position just because she is pregnant. There are only two countries in the entire world that don’t offer some type of maternity leave and they are Papua New Guinea and the United States. 78 countries offer some kind of leave to new fathers. The United States lags in Maternity leave.

Adding daycare at work could be a great thing for mothers in the workplace. Childcare is very expensive and can hold a toll on working mothers. Sometimes the mother cannot afford to put her child into daycare so she has to quit her job to stay home with the baby. Big companies can maybe look into getting an onsite day care but that could hurt the company too with daycare costs. If companies had on-site daycare or offered to pay for child care they would save more money than firing and replacing the working mother.

Women are still taking over the workplace while a lot of them are leaving to be stay at home moms but women are still making less than men are. 49% of women do not work outside of the house and after the millennium it dropped to 23%. Not all mothers can stay at work due to high cost of daycare and having no benefits (maternity leave) so they have to quit their jobs and stay home with the kids. If the work environment was more accommodating then mothers would be able to work and take care of their children.
