Women and their role in modern society - a conflictologist's view
Modern society and the rhythm of life in general are very conflict-prone. Resources are limited, and needs have always grown and will grow - this is inevitable. In such a development of the situation, women will face an internal conflict generated by many contradictions.
Raising a child who will be ready for the challenges of the third decade of the 21st century is a very complex and ambiguous task that is very expensive in terms of both resources and time.
Thus, a woman faces a choice - a conflict of interests, in other words, she has to either choose to raise children and lose something in the professional field, or choose a career without compromise, and leave the children to nannies. The conflict is that all interests cannot be fully realized at the same time.
How does the world intend to simultaneously achieve gender equality in business and politics and increase the birth rate? Doesn't one contradict the other?
Yes and no, says conflictologist Gleb Trufanov. Gender equality and women's participation in politics are an integral feature of modern Russia. It must be said that through the development of preschool education sectors, as well as additional school education, it is possible to achieve maximum inclusion of women in both politics and business. The main emphasis must be placed on improving the quality of education, as well as developing public awareness.
Is there a direct link between a woman's employment and her willingness to give birth and raise children?
Of course there is. High career goals and life expectations coupled with education detraditionalize any individual.
Such a person thinks discretely and critically, and is also inclined to make careful choices with an analysis of all known costs and possible risks.
Thus, a successful woman pushes back the time threshold first for marriage to 30 years, and then for having a child to an average of 35 years. This trend is global in developed and actively developing countries.
A financially secure and goal-oriented person, in this case a woman, is more likely to view the birth and upbringing of children as a separate project, where first you need to build up the entire resource base, and only then begin to implement it.
Of course, this approach is ambiguous and also to some extent controversial. First of all, such a life path is very similar to the "symptom of a deferred life".
A person plans to take some serious step to achieve some significant milestone in life.
The milestone is formally reached, but mentally each time it is pushed further and further along the timeline.
Thus, the desired event may never happen. A woman who wants to have children but postpones this event because of career expectations is certainly free to do what she wants, but other scenarios should also be considered.
