Wahida is among the growing number of women in their mid-40s to mid-50s rejoining the labour force after a career break, and they prefer more flexibility to fulfil their care work demands. Chai said many women in this age group may prefer freelance or less formal or stable jobs as they cannot commit to an inflexible 9-to-5 job.
This is termed as the “disappearing women” phenomenon, where there are increasingly fewer women in the labour force across age groups, whilst men continue to maintain full participation. The gender stereotype which puts the burden of childcare and housework squarely on women poses a major obstacle for those who want to rejoin the workforce, said Universiti Malaya’s gender studies senior lecturer Dr Lai Suat Yan.
