Why Women Still Can’t “Have It All” — The Data on Work, Family, and Housework

ABOUT THE EPISODE Can women really “have it all”? Wharton professor Corinne Low explains that while women attain the same professional achievements as men, they still shoulder most housework and childcare—creating an unsustainable time squeeze. With modern parenting demanding more involvement than ever, unequal domestic roles leave many women exhausted and constrained. Low shows that progress depends on firms setting real boundaries, and on men increasing their home responsibilities. The data reveals how redefining success can help women, families, and workplaces thrive.
