The Maternity Leave Penalty

Women in tech experiencing career breaks for maternity leave often face setbacks upon returning to work, including diminished responsibilities or overt discrimination. This interruption can adversely affect their career trajectory and long-term earning potential. While both parents may take leave, societal expectations and stereotypes disproportionately penalize women, exacerbating the gender pay gap.
