Employers are hesitant to hire moms
SoFi and Modern Fertility conducted a survey that found the biggest factors keeping women from having kids has to do with money – specifically not having enough of it. Women want more pay before they take on dependents, and that makes sense. But if their plan is step one, get more pay, step two, have babies, that could be to their detriment in the career world. Research has found that employers are hesitant to hire women who they believe will have children in the future. Is it unfair? Is it a bias? Is it unethical? Absolutely. But it’s almost nearly impossible to prove that the reason you didn’t get the job was “May have babies in the future.”
