• Ilivu yokubeletha akuyona iholide

Ngo-Ephreli 2016, i-New York Post yashicilela udaba olubizwa ngokuthi "Ngifuna zonke izinzuzo zekhefu lokubeletha - ngaphandle kokuthola izingane." Kwethula umqondo “wobukhulu bamandla.” Umbhali uphakamisa ukuthi abesifazane abangenazo izingane kufanele bakwazi ukuthatha amaholide amasonto ayi-12 njengabo omama abasebenza nabo.

Iningi labantu laliqonda ukuthi le ndatshana yayihloselwe ukuqhakambisa incwadi yakhe. Yize ngikuqonda ukuthi lokho bekuyinhloso, lokho ekwenze ngempela bekucacisa iqiniso lokuthi ikhefu lokubeletha e-United States aliqondakali kahle.

Ngaphambi kokuba nezingane zami, ngangisebenza enkampanini yeFortune 100 futhi ngangicabanga ukuthi ikhefu lokubeletha kwakuyiholide elihle lomama abasha. Empeleni, ngiba nethemba lokuthi kwesinye isikhathi ngangiba nomona futhi ngicasuke kancane ngokuthi kufanele ngithathe umsebenzi owengeziwe.

Eminyakeni yami yokuqala yama-20s, angikaze ngizikhathaze ngamaqiniso aphathelene nekhefu lokubeletha. Ngangingazi ukuthi kwakunzima kanjani ukuba nengane bese ngiphoqeleka ukuba ngibuyele emsebenzini emuva kwamasonto ayi-12 ngingenaso isikhathi seholide, ingane eyayingalali ubusuku bonke, i-akhawunti yasebhange emisiwe, nemizwa yokwehliswa komzwelo kwangemva kokubeletha okusondelayo .

Okubi kakhulu, bengingazi ukuthi isimo sami somsebenzi besingeyona into evamile futhi benginenhlanhla enkulu kakhulu njengoba ngithole amaviki ayi-12 nemali engaphelele. Indlela elula yokulwa nenkolelo eyeqisayo yekhefu lokubeletha ekubeni iholide lamasonto ayi-12 ukuqonda amaqiniso. Ngakho-ke, ake sikwenze lokho.

Amaqiniso okushiya omama e-United States

Amaphesenti angama-40 wabesifazane awafanele ukuthola i-Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) enikeza amasonto ayi-12 ekhefu lomsebenzi elivikelwe, elingakhokhelwe, ezingeni likahulumeni.

Bangu-12% kuphela abesifazane abasemkhakheni ozimele abathola noma yiluphi uhlobo lwekhefu lokubeletha elikhokhelwayo.

Akukho livu yokubeletha ekhokhelwayo yenhlangano - ishiyelwe izifundazwe ukuthola.

Okuwukuphela kwamazwe anenqubomgomo esebenzayo yiCalifornia, Rhode Island, neNew Jersey.

Amaphesenti angama-25 abesifazane baphoqeleka ukuthi babuyele emsebenzini kungakapheli amasonto amabili bebelethile ukuze bondle imindeni yabo.

I-United States ukuphela kwezwe elinemali enkulu elinganikeli ngekhefu lokubeletha elikhokhelwayo ezingeni likahulumeni. Ilivu ekhokhelwe iqinisekisiwe emazweni ayi-178, i-United States ingeyena wabo.

Ngicabanga ukuthi wonke umuntu angavuma ukuthi la maqiniso awathandeki futhi ayadumaza. Njengezwe, sehlulekile ukuzivumelanisa nomnotho oshintshayo. Abesifazane bakha ingxenye ebalulekile ye-GDP yase-United States. Ukube abesifazane bebengasebenzi, besingeke sikwazi ukugcina isimo sethu sezomnotho. Uma abesifazane beqhubeka nokukhetha ukuthola abantwana noma ukuqhubeka nokuba nezingane ezimbalwa ngenxa yengcindezi yezomnotho, sonke sisenkingeni.

Sidinga ukuguqula ingxoxo kusuka kwikhefu lokubeletha kube yilungelo futhi siqale ukuxoxa ngemiphumela yangempela yokungalibheki njengelungelo lomuntu.

Imiphumela yezinqubomgomo ezingezinhle zekhefu lokubeletha

Mhlawumbe okuphazamisa kakhulu ukwedlula amaqiniso yimithelela yokuthi ukungabi bikho kwenqubomgomo yenhlangano yekhefu lokuyobeletha kunabesifazane nezingane.

I-United States inesibalo esiphakeme kunazo zonke sokufa kwezinsana emazweni angama-28 acebile emhlabeni, iza ngo-6.1 kuyo yonke inzalo eyinkulungwane.

Izinga lokuzalwa e-United States liku-1.83 kowesifazane ngamunye, irekhodi liphansi. Uma singasigcini isibalo sabantu, kuzothinta iGDP yethu kanye nokuma komnotho.

Owesifazane oyedwa kwabayishumi uhlushwa ukucindezeleka kwangemva kokubeletha e-United States.

Kumele senze kangcono. Kaningi siphoqeleka ukuthi sibhekane neqiniso lokuthi izinqubomgomo ezingezinhle zekhefu lokubeletha ziyinqubomgomo yomphakathi emibi. Njengoba imindeni eminingi e-United States incike kwabesifazane ukuze bathole imali, asikwazi ukungazinaki izinkinga ezisobala nezibulalayo ezikhathaza bonke omama kungakhathalekile ukuthi banjani kwezomnotho.

Ilivu yokubeletha akuyona iholide

Ikhefu lokuyobeletha liyisidingo.

Ukubuyela emuva esihlokweni esiphathelene nobunzima, umbhali uthi isikhathi omama abasichitha kude namadeski abo ngekhefu lokubeletha kunika omama amandla okuthi "bazithole". Uveze ukuthi ukukhetha kwakhe ukusebenza sekwedlule isikhathi yingoba uthathela umama wakhe osebenza naye ubuhixihixi. Mhlawumbe ukucabanga okuyingozi kakhulu ukuthi wonke umuntu wesifazane uyakwazi ukuthola ikhefu lokuyobeletha elinamasonto ayi-12. Akunjalo nje.

Ukucabanga ukuthi bonke abantu besifazane banikezwa amalungelo afanayo okubeletha kuyingozi. Ngisho ngangikholelwa ukuthi bonke abantu besifazane banelungelo lokuthola ikhefu lomsebenzi elivikelwe amasonto ayi-12. Kungani owesifazane osemusha ayecabanga ngenye indlela kanti kwakungeyona into okwakumele imthinte uqobo? Abesifazane kudingeka bayeke ukuhlazeka ngokuba nomsebenzi wokuziphilisa nokuba nezingane. Umnotho wethu awukwazi ukusinda ngaphandle kokuthi abesifazane basebenze futhi baqhubeke nokuzala abantwana besizukulwane esilandelayo. Izinga lokuzalwa selivele lisilele emuva kulokho okudingekayo ukuxhasa izwe njengoba kunjalo nanamuhla. Ake siyeke ukukhuluma ngekhefu lokubeletha ukuba yiholide bese siqala ukuhlonipha abesifazane abazala izingane zangomuso. Amanye amazwe amaningi ukwazile ukuthola lokhu. Kungani singenakukwazi?
