in 2014?
● Not Enough Part-Time or Flexible Jobs

● Childcare Costs Were High
If childcare is too expensive, some women can’t afford to go to work
● Lack of Support for Women Returning to Work
Some women took time off for family reasons and found it hard to get hired again.
3. How might government policies have influenced the changes in female unemployment in these
countries?
● Some women stop working for a while to care for family. If the government doesn’t help them
return—like through training or job programs—they may struggle to get hired again.
● If there aren’t enough part-time jobs or flexible hours, it can be hard for women (especially
mothers) to find work that fits their schedule.
● If the government doesn’t help families with childcare (like free or affordable daycare), some
women stay home instead of working.
