Evcimenlik Kültünden Çalışan Anneye: Annelik İdeolojileri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Anneliğin toplumsal inşası üzerinde hâkim olan yaklaşım, kadınların yaşamını özel alanla sınırlandıran evcimenlik kültüdür. Bu ideoloji, farklı ideolojiler ile sentezlenerek yoğun annelik ideolojisine dönüşmüştür. 0-14 yaş arası çocuğu olan annelerin istihdam oranlarının OECD ortalamasının son elli yılda iki katına çıkması ise tam zamanlı anneliği savunan yoğun annelik ideolojisinin dönüşüme uğradığının bir göstergesidir. Bu çalışmada, ilgili dönüşüm, anneliğin inşasında etkili ideolojiler ve OECD verileri incelenerek değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bulgular yaşanan dönüşümün temelinde, çalışma hayatının annelik ile uyumlu hale getirilmesine olanak tanıyan yasal düzenlemeler ve çocuk bakım hizmetlerinin genişlemesi gerektiğini göstermiştir. Değerlendirme sonuçları,  geçmiş yıllarda birçok toplumda etkisi hissedilen yoğun annelik ideolojisinin aşınarak annelik ve çalışma hayatının bir arada yürütüldüğü yeni bir dengeye doğru evirildiğine işaret etmektedir.
