Sažetak
Around the world, the participation of women in the labor markets has increased in the last decades. Nevertheless, the employment rate for women is still lower than men’s, and one of the reasons for the lower participation of women in the labour market could be motherhood. This paper examines women’s perceptions of the effects of motherhood on women careers and employment status. Empirical research was conducted among 241 women in Croatia, including 136 mothers and 105 women with no children. Research results indicate that mothers and women that are not mothers generally have similar expectations about raising children and building career. About 1 out of 5 mothers have experienced some workplace discrimination due to motherhood, including lower salaries, getting passed over for a promotion or being considered as a less committed employee. Although research results confirm the detrimental effects of motherhood for some mothers, most mothers consider that building career would not be much easier without children.
