We are happy to inform you that the platform LinkedIn has recently added the job title “parent at home”. Objective: to help people find a decent job after they have stayed stop to look after young children, a choice that is sometimes absolutely necessary (see when there are no grandparents nearby or you do not have a sufficient budget to cover baby-sitting costs). It must also be said that, in spite of any obsolete, but unfortunately resistant, cliché, full time parenting is loaded with responsibilities and commitments, with an operating load of at least 12 hours a day, which become several more if the baby is small and does not sleep.
When the new mother or father wants to (re) place themselves in the world of work
The option to place the charge of stay-at-home-parent falls within the LinkedIn’s mission to value family care, making it part of your curriculum vitae to all intents and purposes. On the CBS News site, Bef Ayenew, LinkedIn’s technical director, said the new title «will allow full-time parents to show your commitment more accurately “. It is also a laudable attempt to fill a gap in the professional world, helping anyone who needs to take off periods to devote themselves to children and family in a broader sense (think of elderly parents in need of care).
A particularly important issue for women
By Ayenew’s own admission, email complaints for failure to recognize their commitment and the sense of responsibility connected to it they come mainly from women, completely ignored when, after motherhood, they try to find a new job. As he comments Elena Benvenuti, psychologist and psychoanalyst (and mother), “Is alarming how much childcare is an event still so badly viewed and badly judged by the world of work. At best, motherhood is experienced by employers as an illness, while in the worst (and unfortunately in the most frequent) of cases, it is perceived as an insult that the employee makes to the company. Without forgetting that there are working realities that, in an absurdly discriminatory way, simply cut the problem at its root not hiring women, especially in the “dangerous” age range between 25 and 35 years».
In gallery, we have collected some of the abilities and soft skills gained by parents who want or need to stay home from work to look after their children. Is giving them a new job chance really that absurd?
