Forecasting aspects of the motherhood image in workers of various professions

Abstract

Introduction. The article presents the results of a survey on certain aspects that make up the image of motherhood in women of different professions, including students or working as an assistant to an electric train driver.

The aim of study is to identify attitudes to motherhood in women of various professions.

Materials and methods. Anonymous online survey.

Results. The marital status of the respondents was distributed as follows: married - 31.03%; civil marriage - 20.69%; permanent partner - 13.79%; single, no partner - 34.48%. Of the 29 respondents, 27.6% are planning or have already linked their professional career with the position of an assistant driver. To the question "do you plan to become a mother" among them are all the answers, and with some probability it is possible to trace the dependence on age: the answers "has become" and "will soon" belong to women aged 30 years, whereas "long-term" or "no" at the age of 19-27 years.

Conclusions. A woman's choice to work with harmful production factors does not mean that she refuses future motherhood. Most respondents have an ambivalent attitude to motherhood, which includes both positive and negative aspects.
