Measures to Support Mothers Returning to the Workforce
Measures like 'mama gong' in China aim to facilitate mothers reentering the workforce by offering positions that suit their needs. These flexible roles leverage technology allowing tasks like AI photography, video editing, or social media management to be done remotely, catering to moms with varying skills.

Policies like those in Guangdong Province aim to ease reentry by accommodating daycare needs and flexible work schedules for working moms.
