What challenges do women face when returning to work after a career break?

Lance Alexander speaks with Koh Yan Ping, CEO of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO), about the challenges women in Singapore face when returning to work after a career break. Drawing on SCWO’s study, Women and Work Transitions, they examine why women leave the workforce, how employers view gaps in a CV, and why knowing about government support schemes does not always lead to a job. How do the challenges differ for new mothers and older women returning after years of caregiving? And what can employers and policymakers do to create more flexible and sustainable career paths for women?
