Survey Reveals That Women Find Pregnancy Harming Careers
The survey carried out by CareerOne involving 1,467 women showed that two-thirds of working women believe pregnancy would negatively impact their career while 75 per cent thought raising a family while in a senior level role would be difficult.
Federal MP Bronwyn Bishop told the CareerOne Women's Forum that working mothers still face a challenge to reach their full career potential.
"All the evidence I took in at that inquiry shows that once you have a child your career plateaus," the Daily Telegraph quoted Bishop as saying.
"In the back of the mind is, 'well if she's got children in childcare, she's got to go and get the kids at 5.30pm, the blokes can stay on.'"
"If your child's sick it's even more difficult. As soon as you want time off people resent it," she added.
Bishop made a public pledge to keep pushing for the recommendations put forward by her inquiry that were never taken up.
