Brianna DeWitt, a physical therapist from Hawaii, sought to balance her career with parenthood but found that working part-time disqualified her family from essential benefits. Many American parents share her struggle, as U.S. laws provide minimal protections for part-time employees, resulting in lost healthcare coverage and other benefits. Despite some companies offering benefits to part-time workers, most people risk losing critical support when reducing hours. This situation especially affects millennials starting families, who might prefer to work part time to meet childcare needs without sacrificing their careers.
DeWitt's dilemma is shared by parents and caregivers across America.
At a time when many millennials are starting families, a shift to working part time could be a perfect solution for new parents.
Unlike other developed countries, the US offers few legal protections for part-time employees.
...stepping back from full-time work can mean losing out on healthcare coverage, paid leave, and fair wages.
