Singaporean working women value family over career

Singaporean working women have indicated that they place more emphasis on their families rather than their careers, according to a recent survey done by JobStreet.com. About 65% opined that their career objectives will change when they have children, in contrast with about 20% who said their professional goals will remain unchanged.

About 55% of respondents said that flexible working hours is the main priority after they have children, while 26% said that shorter and more stable working hours are most desired. Elsewhere, about 51% said that they will remain working as usual after having children, as opposed to 26% who said that they will resume later after a brief period of non-work.

When asked about how long their non-work period is, about 31% said that they will stop working for less than a year, while 27% said that they will stop working for one to two years. About 54% of respondents said they cannot afford to stop working, when asked about why they resumed working, while only 11% cited the continuation of their career climb as their reason.

On another note, about 67% of respondents said that their companies do not provide flexible or part-time working hours for mothers, with only 19% saying that their companies do provide such flexibility. About 39% said that their companies are not sensitive to the needs of working mothers, with only 22% saying that their companies are considerate to working mothers.

On a final note, about 59% of working women surveyed opined that their companies should be thoughtful enough to provide childcare facilities, in contrast to only 21% who do not think so.

About 500 working women in Singapore participated in the survey in April 2011.

dies ist eine gute Nachricht für die Familien, vielleicht ist dies nach dem Beginn der Ende, das Ende dieser Ära der indiscrimination und Vorurteile.

A child is a gift of love from both parents, and his/her care must be shared by both in their best capacities, while sensitively minding the wellbeing of mother. She needs to be cared as well. Working(job) is a means to good mental and social wellbeing for mother. Why should she be deprived? Therefore child care at home and work-place, both require sincere assistance. EMPLOYERS AND HUSBANDS, ARE YOU THERE!!!
