Erwerbstätige Mütter- Zerrissen zwischen Karriere und Familienplanung

In Germany, the birth rate has remained at about 1.4 children per woman since 1990. The ratio between retirees and workers is becoming unbalanced. With a high valuation of professional work and a low valuation of family work, women, especially those with good career prospects, are increasingly choosing not to have children. How can incentives be created to encourage more births? What makes the balance between professional work and parenting so difficult for parents, particularly for mothers? Does the division of responsibilities between parents play a crucial role? How is the time between employment and child-rearing, as well as between partners, allocated? How have roles and the understanding of roles changed in recent years? Why are current family policy measures insufficient to initiate a turnaround? And ultimately, how can it be made possible for motherhood and career to be compatible?.
