Maternal penalty
YUGMARG NEWSPAPER
|09-05-2025
The 'motherhood penalty' wherein women earn less after having childrenis a well-known global issue with serious implications for career growth, family finances, and gender equality.
-
In India, this penalty is especially pronounced. Research on 'motherhood penalty' remains limited even though studies and personal experiences paint a grim reality. Many women exit the workforce after childbirth; those who return often encounter career stagnation, reduced wages, and restricted opportunities. An estimate by IWWAGE of Krea University showed a sharp decline in female labour force participation in salaried jobs for both rural and urban India in 2017-18 and in 2023-24. Childcare and household chores were cited as the main reasons for this trend.
