'Singapore has placed greater stress, especially on mothers,'
said one woman, while another adds that women today "are a cursed
lot, compared to earlier generations, because the roles are so
diversified.'
The difficulties and stresses of raising a family in Singapore
were key issues discussed at a dialogue session, organised by the
People's Association's Women's Integration Network on Tuesday.
Some of the questions raised include the challenges for women to
return to work after childbirth, and the need for more flexible
working arrangements.
Singaporean women think too much if
they think they are a cursed lot. They have access to much more
resources than any other women in all the previous
generations.
Money, resources, techonology are
there. But then, in order to utilise them well, one more thing is
needed. Brain. So its not whether singaporean women now is a cursed
lot or not. Its whether have they been using the brain well or
not.
