Klappentext zu „Balancing motherhood and career in the formal sector in Ghana “
Responsibilities of motherhood and climbing the career development ladder can be hectic because it entails a wide range of duties, including attending meetings, supervising children's assignments, sending and picking children to and from school, among others. Since childbearing is of extreme importance in the Ghanaian society, some mothers are left with no choice than to sacrifice their careers. Well- educated women who have risen high on career ladders are confronted with gender- role conflict, causing some to quit or consider quitting their jobs. The intersection between motherhood and career conflicts is largely explored especially in literature on Western societies, however, the benefits women derive from playing both roles still remain scantly mapped, especially in sub- Saharan Africa. The main purpose of this book is to examine how Ghanaian women balance work in the formal sector and motherhood.
