Women In Business News How much does it cost to be a mum? Women suffer a "devastating" impact on their pay after having children, a new study has found. The study by The Fawcett society found that before becoming parents, men and women are equally likely to be employed but childbirth marks the start of a great divide which continues even after children have left home. Pregnancy can make women particularly vulnerable to discrimination. During the recent downturn there has been a marked increase in the numbers of women seeking help because they believe they have experienced pregnancy related discrimination. Dr Katherine Rake, Director of the Fawcett Society says “The choice of whether and when to return to employment is of course a very personal one. However, it is critical that those mothers who choose or need to be in paid work should be able to do so without suffering a pay penalty”. The Fawcett Society has called for new policy responses to reduce the impact of motherhood on a woman’s earnings. Four priority areas emerged from the report. |
