Debate Birth 2.1 Realistic goal or a mirage?, guests:
- Claudia Indreica (HR expert, Psihoselect)
- Barbu Mateescu (sociologist)
- moderator Marina Udroiu (Business Intelligence Lead, MedLife) in partnership with MedLife
A debate on the factors that influence the decision of a woman or a couple to become parents, starting from the Medlife study on the birth rate in Romania. Marina Udroiu presents data from the Medlife study, followed by the debate on the birth rate from the perspective of women active in the labor market, the woman who does not want to feel that the decision to have a child automatically means the decision to give up her career. The perspective provided by Claudia Indreică – HR expert – is complemented by a sociological picture offered by Barbu Mateescu, who highlights how demographics will influence our future. Increasing the birth rate means moving from seeing children as an economic cost to a collective value in which we all invest (Alessandro Rosina – demography expert). Who are the investors: parents, employers and the government through public policies to support the family and the birth rate.
