| Description | Childlessness or postponement of maternity is often interpreted as a consequence of a conflict between paid employment and pay free work in the household, including the care for children. Women anticipate the perils that the long absence on the labor market due to maternity leave can bring. Family social politics that should support combination of the two spheres, or allow men to participate more in child care are not yet enforced in the czech context. The following text, based on qualitative research, will concern the given issue through perception of young Czech women who gave birth to their first child after reaching the age of thirty, or who still remain childless at this age. The analysis of interviews unveiled, above all, the changing perception of work depending on age, age norms of maternity, (non)existence of a partner and maternity consideration. |
