2018: % of fathers and mothers who feel having kids harmed their careers.
According to a survey conducted in France in 2018, half of the women felt that having children slowed down or had slowed down their professional careers. Only ** percent of men indicated that they felt their fatherhood harmed or had harmed their careers.
