In recent decades, women's labor force participation has leveled off, and women continue to shoulder significantly more housework and childcare than men. This stagnation highlights the lack of progress across generations, with women under 30 facing circumstances similar to those of women 50 and older, if not worse.
The report reveals that for the first time in two decades, the gender wage gap widened, with men's median earnings rising 3% while women's grew only 1.5%. This backsliding challenges the belief that social progress toward gender equality is automatic.
