Additionally, outdated skills and an extended gap in employment may decrease their chances of finding a job at the same level as when they left (Greer, 2013;Lovejoy & Stone, 2012;Zimmerman & Clark, 2016). Frustrated and disappointed, women may struggle to understand their identity during this time as they are unable to re-establish the work-related identity they once had (Duberley & Carrigan, 2012).…”
