What are the key obstacles that hinder women in the workforce according to a recent UNICEF-supported survey

A UNICEF-supported survey has highlighted specific barriers preventing women from actively participating in the workforce.
1. Gender Discrimination: The survey identified gender discrimination as a significant obstacle, with women facing biases in recruitment, promotions, and salary negotiations. 2. Unpaid Care Work: Women often bear a disproportionate burden of unpaid care work, such as childcare and household chores, which can limit their availability for formal employment. 3. Lack of Access to Education and Training: Limited educational opportunities and training programs for women restrict their skill development and prospects for higher-paying jobs. 4. Workplace Harassment: Hostile work environments and instances of harassment further dissuade women from pursuing and staying in certain professions. 5. Limited Maternity Support: Inadequate maternity leave policies and support for working mothers impact their ability to maintain employment.
