Then she met her husband, an avid outdoorsman who believed the only way to handle a nine-to-five city job was to ditch corporate wear for outdoor gear as soon as the weekend hit.

But the researchers also saw “steep declines” both before and months after the policy was introduced, among women aged 20-29.
