Focus On Career, Not Marriage: "Marriage Crunch"
During the 80s, women started getting more equal treatment than ever in the workplace. More women were graduating from college and getting great full time jobs. Those that had not settled down and married before graduation had little time to devote to dating and finding a mate after they landed these great positions. This is part of what the original Marriage Crunch was all about. Women choosing not to get married and experts worrying that because of this women over the age of 30 were not likely to get married ever.
Today there has been a shift in the priorities of women. Women are more focused on having families and often choose to forgo using their education in the traditional sense by staying home with their young children. Women now find it a privilege to get the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mother. They are waiting until their children are in school before they seek out full time occupations.
However, in addition to the mothers of the world, there is a group of single women who find it more appealing to stay single than to marry. They too want children, but know that due to technology such as in-vitro fertilization, they have more options than ever for the future. They make themselves unavailable to the notion of marriage. Perhaps men are not asking women as often as they have in the past to marry them as well. Sometimes it could be that the woman has never considered marriage because she has never been asked.
