the wage gap, the motherhood penalty, & the structure of work
Channel: Nicole Sweeney
Date: 2016-10-03

[cc] This is a video about the wage gap, focusing largely on the implications of motherhood, and talking about the structure of work. It was made kind of quickly (from the idea & research through to the edit all in one day) so there’s a good chance I missed some things. Please feel free to discuss all that good, important stuff below.
