According to recent data, in the first six months of 2025, 212,000 women in the United States left their jobs. During the same period, 44,000 men entered new employment. These figures show that women’s attitudes toward work are changing.
Experts say that this time, many women are leaving not out of necessity, but by their own choice. Some want to spend more time with their children, while others want to start their own business or try themselves in a new field.
The pandemic period also influenced this decision. Remote work, more free time, and the opportunity to be closer to family helped many women imagine their lives differently. As a result, some chose to focus on family or personal life rather than continue working.
At the same time, not all women have such an opportunity. Many still have to leave the labor market due to financial difficulties, childcare costs, or job cuts.
Experts assess this situation in two ways: for some women it is a free choice and a new opportunity, while for others it is a necessity. This shows that society needs a broader discussion about the role and opportunities of women in the workforce.
