Female teachers report worse work-life balance than men: Is gender equity in US schools still an illusion?

A RAND Corporation survey reveals that female teachers in US schools report significantly worse work-life balance than male colleagues. Rigid schedules, greater household duties, and limited personal time contribute to the disparity. Women also report higher fatigue and more emotional stress. Compared to other professionals, teachers have fewer benefits and more domestic burden. The findings suggest a pressing need for improved flexibility and support in schools, according to data shared by The 74 Million.
