The Moms Are Not All Right

Description:

How are moms really doing? Marketing research firm Alter Agents decided to find out with a study on consumer fear and anxiety both pre- and during COVID. It showed a bleak picture. Women in America are more anxious, less confident and less optimistic than men, and parenthood only exacerbates these statistics, further dividing the genders.

This session relays personal stories from a panel of professional working mothers with diverse backgrounds, backed up by concrete study data. They are finding, like others, that juggling new childcare burdens, family management and maintaining a place in the workforce is increasingly untenable. Join them in a discussion of how we can all acknowledge, understand and combat the long-term implications of this reality for mothers, children, and families.
