Women Are Being Shut Out of the Workforce Like Never Before
Jasmine Tucker, vice president for research at NWLC, attributed these shocking figures to government policies that have made it more difficult for women to balance paid labor with caregiving responsibilities. “The Trump administration spent 2025 undermining workplace protections and weakening caregiving support that helps women enter and remain in the labor force,” she said. Think: Slashing women from federal positions and undermining DEI programs, to name just a few. “It is clear that this administration doesn’t value women’s work or believe that a woman’s place is at work.”
