Summary

This quote suggests that women's decision to leave the workforce is not a sudden or singular event, but rather a consequence of numerous small decisions made well in advance.

These decisions might include taking on more housework responsibilities, prioritizing family commitments over professional opportunities, or opting for flexible work arrangements that limit career advancement. The quote underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing these individual choices to promote greater gender equality in the workforce.
