Temporary Employment

temporary employment: Researchers out of Australia's University of Adelaide found that the likelihood of childbirth by 35 is reduced by eight per cent for every year a woman spends in temporary employment, according to CTV. Researchers say the finding is important because it challenges the widespread notion that highly-educated women are delaying motherhood to focus on their careers. The study found the effect of temporary work on beginning a family was consistent among the study participants, regardless of their socioeconomic status and The longer women work in casual or temporary jobs, the less likely they are to have their first child by their mid-thirties, a new study suggest. "Our findings suggest that, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances, women generally aspire to economic security prior to starting a family," the study authors write.
