The COVID-19 pandemic forced men and women to adjust their work. McKinsey & Company research indicates that women who are both workers and mothers experienced a number of changes.

17% of women who are both workers and mothers chose to reduce their working hours. Another 16% opted for a less demanding job. Conversely, only 9% and 11% of men who work and are fathers chose these options respectively.

Women adopted more work adaptation options due to increased household responsibilities as mothers. They struggled to balance work and family life.

Women who are both workers and mothers felt more tired. The added challenge of children attending school from home during the pandemic was particularly significant.

McKinsey & Company collected data from 317 companies in the United States and Canada. Participating companies, which were private, public, and social, represented diverse sectors such as banking, energy, media, and entertainment.
