Enhancing Family Leave Policies

Revising family leave policies to make them more inclusive and supportive for both parents can have a significant impact on gender equity. Tech companies, often characterized by their competitive environments, can retain more women in the workforce by adopting more flexible parental leave policies for both mothers and fathers, as seen in countries like Sweden. Such policies encourage equal sharing of child-rearing responsibilities and reduce career interruptions for women.
