The professional reintegration after a family break is not only a necessity for many but also a significant challenge. The question arises: How well can one's family planning be reconciled with professional life, and do self-fulfillment and family actually go together – who or what gets left behind? This is a question that has recently been discussed controversially and prominently in the media, but it is also a fundamental question that every woman must answer for herself in life, regardless of the societal circumstances. This book provides facts, statistical data, and very informative material from numerous studies and personal conversations with affected women. It highlights social inequalities between genders, particularly the opportunities for women with children in the job market, and can thus assist in one's own decision-making process.
