Thank you, Dr. Eichler. My next question is also for you.
One challenge that women in any workforce face is balancing the challenges of a family and career. The child care burden disproportionately falls on women, and their careers often suffer because of it. The challenges are even greater in a military career, with its long and varied hours, frequent moves and sudden deployments.
Can you discuss how these stresses impact a woman already working hard to try to succeed in a very masculine and hierarchical culture? How important is helping with the family in changing the culture and helping women succeed in the Canadian Armed Forces?
