    Women in the Workforce

    In this week’s episode of World War She, Diweni and Uzo discuss women in the workforce, or better yet, why women are leaving the workforce. We get into the details of the trad-wife epidemic, the mass exodus of women from the workforce, and the effects of rising childcare costs. Digressions include: Love Island: Beyond the Villa, Noah Lyle’s wedding discourse, and more! As always, thanks for listening!
