How to balance work and child rearing? 3 mothers in Hong Kong share their stories
International Women’s Day is on March 8. We speak to three Hong Kong working mums on the challenges of juggling a career and family

International Women’s Day, which falls each year on March 8, is a global celebration not just of the achievements of women but also their resilience, something that resonates with working mothers everywhere.
Juggling a career with family commitments can be overwhelming. Stress, burnout and feelings of “mum guilt” are common among women trying to achieve work-life balance.
Add to that societal expectations and stereotypes, double standards around domestic workloads, the gender pay gap and the challenges of finding childcare.
It lags far behind other jurisdictions such as Bulgaria (58.6 weeks), Greece (43 weeks) and Britain (39 weeks).
Three Hong Kong-based women open up about the pros and cons of being a working mum.
