Rich westernized countries, except US, offer between 1 and 3 years of unpaid maternity leave. This is a strong recognition of the critical role mothers play in the early life of their children, and a recognition of the importance of rearing the next generation. Multiply by 2 or 3 children, and you get anywhere between 2 and 9 years of working on the "conceiving, delivering and raising children" career. Of course, it doesn't end when the child is 3 years old, more like when s/he's 18, and sometimes much later. Furthermore, when women have a real choice between career and family, many choose family. http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2015/05/economist-explains-12 http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2015/05/ec.... "in the Netherlands 26.8% of men and 76.6% of women work less than 36 hours a week". I, for one, am commending them for it. Does this mean that women should spend their entire existence attending to their children? By no means! The Dutch arrangement sound fantastic. As an old Dutch friend proudly stated, what Netherlands does today, the rest of the developed world will do in 10-20 years, so there is hope for the rest of us. As of the lady in the OP, she has her priorities in the wrong place, no surprise adult men stay away from her.
