| Sumario: | As a response to the previous socialist pressures and constraints in the former Soviet bloc countries, a powerful new push toward removing women from gainful employment and toward “traditional family values” can be seen. Unemployment is a new, post-socialist phenomenon, and men are becoming more anxious to remove female competitors from the shrinking employment opportunities. Furthermore, the new governments are trying to “save” the part of expenditures that previously went on “cradle to grave” state protection of jobs for all citizens. The writer contends that a reevaluation of the socialist approach to women's employment is required and that there is a critical need for contemporary female role models who successfully achieve career accomplishments in technical professions combined with positively performing their family roles. |
