For some people , childbirth isn’t so easy when it comes to money. Sometimes individuals don’t understand problems of other people living in different circumstances than their own. But who suffers most?
Everyone assumes that highly paid women suffer a bigger economic penalty, as they have more earnings to lose. But based on an analysis, two sociologists have proved that it’s just the other part of the population pyramid who has difficulties.
Their analysis separates seven groups of different earnings, each group was based on non-Hispanic white women. After following them up, different conclusions could be made.
On the one hand, lower paid women have less involvement in their company, so if they can’t combine the child-care arrangements with their job, they are forced to cycle in and out of jobs.
On the other hand, women with higher earnings mostly have a good career. When they become a mother, they receive many advantages. It’s also much easier for them to hire nannies.

Nowadays, we see fewer new mothers, but more old, poor mothers with poor children. This should ring a bell: people should be more interested to these trends.
