| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to explore the different factors that shape and dictate women’s career interruption decisions. This was done to come up with practical implementations that can help companies and HR managers better retain and cater to their female workforce.

Most of our participants also emphasized the prevalence of balance in their lives as they aimed to balance their traditional gender roles with their ambitions and careers |
