UNICEF: Gender Equality - Marisa
Marisa Thalberg, 37, a working mother in New York City, has not owned an alarm clock for years. Every morning, her five-year-old daughter Hannah or her five-month-old daughter Avery takes care of waking her up in the early hours. Like millions of women around the world, from the moment her day begins, Marisa starts juggling the competing and sometimes conflicting worlds of work and motherhood. With women making up approximately 40 per cent of the global workforce, finding childcare that is both high quality and affordable is a struggle for many dual-career families. In many parts of the world, parents sometimes rely on extended family members to provide childcare. Frequently an older child, generally a daughter, is entrusted with care of the younger children - often at the expense of her own schooling.
