Under normal circumstances, if you are a single working woman, your career may be more important;
If a woman gives birth to a child after pregnancy, the child and family may be more important.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, what to do at which stage, this stage is not divided by age, let alone when you must get married and have children, you can advance or postpone it, but divide it according to your own expected plan, or just accept it naturally at which stage you are in.
South Korea is also a country with fierce competition, small market and low status of women, so it is definitely more severe and challenging for working mothers. 70% of women give up maternity leave, mostly for economic benefits. I believe it's not that Korean women are unwilling to take maternity leave, but that they are workaholics. Most of the reasons are that they are afraid that their jobs will be replaced during maternity leave and they will not have their original jobs after returning to Hong Kong, so they would rather sacrifice their rest time to keep their jobs, which also reflects the fierce market competition and the oversupply of talents.
In fact, this problem is also very serious in China. A large number of enterprises in China tend not to use women who are about to get married or have no children after marriage, which is a kind of gender discrimination to some extent. However, many enterprises prefer to choose men or women who just graduated from college and will not get married for the time being, or women who are married and have children, so it is understandable for economic benefits, but it is unacceptable for humanitarian reasons because they have been deprived. This may be one of the reasons why so many people in China are keen to test civil servants and large state-owned enterprises.
But in fact, the state should legislate and formulate relevant policies to ensure the interests of units and women. Some subsidies or tax exemption policies can be set up for units to ensure women's production rights and interests, because women's production is not for women. In a broad sense, it is the interest of the whole country. People who want to make policies can consider it in the long run, rather than simply opening up the second child. Although the number of simple second children is open, for white-collar women in many big cities, their job benefits have not improved. Therefore, white-collar women in many big cities are still afraid to have children, and most of them respond to second-and third-tier cities or backward areas, which creates an imbalance and is not conducive to long-term development, which will gradually reduce the quality of the whole population.
In a word, this is a phenomenon of the whole society. It is embodied in individuals, but it has certain sociality, so it can't be ignored. Some women, even those who get married late, don't face this situation now, and they will face this situation more or less in the future, so everyone should mobilize and give more support to novice women who have just given birth.
