This article notes that “right-wing governments, including the US and Hungary, are increasingly blaming falling fertility rates on a rejection of parenthood”, as if today’s young adults just don’t want children.
But the author suggests that actually people do want children, and one of the main reasons they’re having fewer children is because they can’t afford many children.
Thoughts?
There’s a difference between Women harming their careers by having children, and not being able to a career other than SAHM because you aren’t able to get a career job in the first place. Both are sexist, and while it would work to increase the birth rate to remove women’s rights, it is morally reprehensible, and yes looks sternly at the US, we see what you are doing!
Most people, woman or not, don’t have “careers”
They have jobs vast majority of which are very low quality lol
Honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling with this.
Any job that would give you an advantage when applying for a new job (ie. Prior experience) is part of a career. For more formal careers like Medicine and Law they are an absolute necessity and often formally defined, for careers like Bartender, the requirements are more fluid, but experience (and particularly unbroken experience) is very important when applying for jobs.
Careful buddy, you might OD on daddy’s koolaid lol
Nope. Only true if the new job offers benefit over the previous jobs.
Sorry to tell you this. But for many in modern society that is simply not the case. The growth in income or benefit at best covers the increase in cost of living.
With the huge increases in housing costs alone. Long term employment. Stable or steady replacement. Often fails to pay the increased dost of surviving as low income workers age.
For many low income families jobs last as long as the company success followed by random layoffs to support company shareholders. Followed by inflation only replacement work.
This is in no way a career just survival.
