Best part-time job prospects for working mothers

According to a survey, the best part-time job prospects for working mothers will be in: media and marketing companies, with 51 per cent of companies planning to hire; health care and medicine, 50 per cent hiring; consultancy services, with 49 per cent hiring; banking, finance and insurance, with 46 per cent hiring; retail sales, with 46 per cent hiring; and information and communications technology, with 44 per cent hiring.

But the other part of the equation is that Canadian companies generally fail to offer employees the flexible working conditions they desire, such as working part time, job sharing, or telecommuting. Her research shows that only 5 per cent have onsite or company-sponsored daycare, leaving some parents with no option but to remain at home.

That's when ideas of self employment or starting a business are abundant. Running a business from home can be a good way for women for remain with economic independence;
do what she really loves and has skill for or to keep a hand in the working world and avoid getting trapped on the mommy track.

Most companies have not company-sponsored daycare, and not much flexibility.
So reading these has me and many other women wondering if anything has really been accomplished by the feminist movement. Women STILL have to basically choose between career and home, they cannot get it all. There’s still a lot of societal expectation of women to have children but at the same time, there’s a lot of expectation for women to “do her part”. It makes for a VERY confused situation. And worse, those who end up bearing the brunt of the problems are families and innocent children.
