Julia Keintz took a job leading analytics at Zillow two years ago, when her children were 6 months and 11. One of the reasons she wanted the job, she said, was that since the pandemic, Zillow has allowed employees to live where they want and work flexible schedules. She can give her older child an after-school snack and drive him to sports practices and bar mitzvah preparations. “Zillow is the first company I worked for where flexibility is an outwardly stated thing.”The share of women working in the United States increased rapidly starting in the 1970s, with the women’s movement. Economists have attributed this to the lack of family-friendly policies in the United States, like paid leave and subsidized child care.
