Abstract

Žene se danas nakon što postanu majke često suočavaju s različitim promjenama u
osobnom i profesionalnom životu. Primjerice, jedna od direktnih posljedica majčinstva
su prekidi u karijeri pa žene zbog toga imaju manje radnog iskustva nego žene koje
nisu majke. Osim toga, jedna od posljedica majčinstva je i potreba usklađivanja
zahtjeva koje nameće obiteljski život s poslovnim zahtjevima, naime, odgajanje djece
zahtjeva dodatni napor te majke osim što idu na posao, moraju preuzeti niz obaveza u
privatnom životu (npr. voditi djecu u školu/vrtić, zbrinuti djecu u razdobljima izostanka
iz obrazovnih ustanova uslijed bolesti djece itd.), što onda utječe i na njihovu
produktivnost na poslu. Zbog toga žene često biraju poslove koji su „prikladniji“ za
majke jer imaju točno određeno radno vrijeme i lakše im je uskladiti privatni i poslovni
život. Ovakva ograničenja u poslovnom životu mogu utjecati i na primanja majki,
prvenstveno na manja prosječna primanja u odnosu na žene koje nisu majke. Dodatni
razlog zbog kojeg žene-majke dobivaju manju plaću može biti diskriminacija. Iako su
majke zaštićene zakonodavnim rješenjima, neki poslodavci preferiraju žene bez djece
iz razloga što će one manje izostajati s posla te će biti više koncentrirane na posao.
Empirijskim istraživanjem provedenim u sklopu ovo rada teži se utvrditi na koje načine
majčinstvo može utjecati na važne karijerne odluke, a samim time i na plaću.

Abstract (english)

Women nowadays after becoming mothers often face various changes in their
personal and professional lives. For example, one of the direct consequences of
motherhood is career breaks, so women have less work experience than non-mothers.
In addition, one of the consequences of motherhood is the need to harmonize the
demands of family life with business demands, because raising children requires extra
effort and mothers, in addition to going to work, must take on a number of
responsibilities in private life (e.g. take children to school / kindergarten, taking care of
children during periods of absence from educational institutions due to children's
illness, etc.), which then affects their productivity at work. This is why women often
choose jobs that are more "suitable" for mothers because they have specific working
hours and it is easier for them to reconcile private and business life. Such restrictions
in business life can also affect on incomes, primarily lower average incomes compared
to non-mothers. An additional reason why mothers receive lower pay may be
discrimination. Although mothers are protected by legal solutions, some employers
prefer women without children because they will be less absent from work and more
focused on work.
Empirical research looked at the ways in which motherhood can influence on important
career decisions, and thus on salary.
