Episode description

The Pay Check is back for a second season! For the next six weeks, we’re going to dig into the number one reason women still make less money than men: Motherhood. Women start their careers earning just about the same as men do, but once they have their first kid, that pay gap grows to a chasm. This season, we’ll show you how this “motherhood penalty” plays out for real women, in real life and how it affects the global economy.

Speaker 1

I would love to be a full time mom at some point, but I think the anxiety of what if I get bored? What if I want to return to the workforce, What does that even mean? What does that look like? You know, as the morning anchor, viewers want to see a beauty queen. So I'm pranktic now I've gained like forty pounds. I knew it would be an issue. The Paycheck is back for a second season, and this time we're talking about the one thing that hurts women's

earnings more than anything else, motherhood. As I was campaigning for the Senate, I felt like I was leaving my daughter behind. I learned the hard way that there is no work life balance. We're going to investigate what happens to women's paychecks, their lives, and the global economy when

women choose to have kids or don't. Wages have effectively remained flat, while the cost of childcare it has gone up nearly a thousand per cent, and it does lead young people to have a legitimate question, is it okay to still have children? The Paychecks new season starts April ten. Subscribe to The Paycheck wherever you listen to podcasts.
