You're right, but you ain't making the big bucks. Even then, they seem to find it rewarding enough.
If I was woman and I decided to have baby, I'd probably be either very stressed with my current job, or looking for something part time.
Now imagine if I live in Sweden or the like where the state hands out money for raising children.
- jhasse 6y agowait, there are countries where the state does NOT hand out money for raising children?
- iagovar 6y agoYeah, probably most? IDK, I don't have the stats at hand, but in plenty of places you're alone agains't what it comes to you, no matter your gender. The personal and societal reasoning about parenthood changes, but they still do have babies, despite being on their own. For many people, children is their retirement plan. Anyway, it's not the same to have a nice monthly stipend than a small cheque far in between. Spain, for example, is considerably worse financially-wise for raising a kid than countries more up north. Not only because the country job market is shit (which is important even if you don't work, because your partner has to bring money home), but because the state really doesn't do much about it. Now imagine living in a place where there isn't really a functional state to look for.
- klyrs 6y agoIn Canada and the US, the state will take children away from parents in poverty rather than hand out money. But then it gets really weird; they then place the children in foster homes, which get significant handouts.
