INFORMATION LATER
The Nordic Consulates in
Chicago (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden)
invite you to an hour of thought-provoking information
and discussion.
Parents struggle to make the family puzzle pieces fit
together during the pandemic as many are working from home
and others have decided to focus entirely on the family.
The New York Times pointed out in a January 8 article that
“The people who have left the work force have not been
replaced” indicating that some left their jobs and that
policymakers are now worried that they may not return".
According to the Department of Labor Statistics the
employment rate in the US has dropped nearly 2 % from a
year ago, and four times as many women have left the work
force than men (CBS news Chicago on February 4). Some
believe that some of the progress made by women over the
last few decades have now been reversed.
Like the rest of the world the five Nordic countries were
hit hard by the pandemic, but it has not impacted the work
force participation to the same extent as in the US.
- Join the consulates on March 18.
