Women's Involvement In Bearing A Baby
When a women bear children, their lives were no longer their own. Being as a mother, they are anticipated to change drastically in terms of employment opportunities, housework, and eventually a duty to care for their children. Sacrifice and compromise become a part of their daily routines. In a nationally representative survey of single, childless people in 2011, more men than women wanted kids and more women reported seeking independence in their relationships, personal space, interests, and hobbies (Jezebel, n.d.). Bearing a baby may be a particularly difficult decision for many women as men have lesser involvement in taking care of the children( or the particulars of childcare and career and flexibility are a gamble for women more than men)(
take care of most of the childcare and housework responsibilities). Women may wary of the responsibility and commitment of having a child and afraid of losing freedom over an extended period of time. They have to spend their precious time to accompany their child to provide the love and nurturing care for their child. In addition, mother may face the risk of losing a job or need to resign from work as some( companies/ colleagues and superiors) refuse to hire labour that has children as they think that women with children will be less working efficiency and more concentration on children.( do not take their professional aspirations seriously once they bear children) For example, American mothers aren't guaranteed paid maternity leave or paid sick leave and are not offered help in affording the exorbitant cost of child care. They need to face widespread discrimination and a hit to their incomes just for becoming a mom. As a result, a large proportion of women prefer to bear child when they have enough years to focus solely on their career and self-development to clear the self-doubt and boost my self-esteem without any added battles.There is,however,some women tend to choose to leave their occupation when they become pregnant. This was more so the case in 1995 than in 2005. Changes in occupational status due to pregnancy may obscure the relationship between maternal occupation and adverse birth outcomes
