Recession | Is there a Cost of Parenting Crisis?

We’ve talked about the perfect storm for labour shortages in a previous blog, discussing the various impacts of the pandemic and leaving the EU.

Lack of support, it could be argued, causes predominantly women to drop out of employment and thus additionally adds to the gender pay gap.
