HR Professionals in Pakistan - Caregiving Impact on Employee Retention

Women aren’t leaving jobs because they 'lack ambition.' Many are leaving becausedoing both, work and caregiving is becoming impossible to sustain. A recent study byCatalyst(reported byForbes) found that455,000+ women left the U.S. workforce in just the first 8 months of 2025, and caregiving responsibilities, childcare costs, and lack of flexibility were key drivers. I’m working on a news story onwomen’s dropout from the workforce in Pakistan, and I want to understand what this looks like from inside organizations. I’m looking to speak withHR professionals/managersabout: • How caregiving pressures affect retention • What support systems exist (or don’t) If you work in HR or can connect me with someone, please comment or DM. #WomenInWorkplace #HR #Pakistan #Journalism #GenderEquality
