Rigid workplace culture prevents women over 50 from furthering their careers says TUC report

摘要

A new TUC report has warned that a rigid workplace culture is making it difficult for older women to balance their careers with caring responsibilities, leading to low pay at the end of their working lives and poverty in retirement. The complex and often multiple caring responsibilities faced by women over 50 -and a failure by many employers to help them balance work with their other responsibilities - make it particularly difficult for them to continue their careers whilst caring for loved ones, says the TUC.
