Indian women more likely to quit jobs mid-career due to 'double burden': Survey

Women in India more likely to quit jobs at mid-career due to the ‘double burden syndrome’—a culture where both men and women feel the family and household duties are primarily the woman’s responsibility. A Kelly Global Workforce Insights (KGWI) survey on Women in STEM ( science, technology, engineering & mathematics), found that women in India tend to drop out of workforce at key phases in their lives, notably around childbearing years and later at midmanagement levels.
