- Description
- 'This survey shows that mothers express their need to be valued and listened to. No matter their background, age, or socio-demographic profile, 11,000 mothers across Europe have expressed similar opinions, wishes and concerns. Respondent mothers have a strong sense of responsibility towards their families and children. They also know that being a mother is essential to them, to their children, to their family and to society. For most .European families, time is a difficult issue because of the tension between employment and family life, and in particular during the “rush hour” of their life. Employers, policy makers and public opinion should be aware of the .difficulty for mothers to follow a linear path in their career if they are to be more involved in the care and upbringing of their children.'
