Eighty-three percent of women older than 25 who intend to have children are delaying beginning a family to concentrate on their career, in contrast to 79 percent of men, a new study by CareerBuilder has divulged. Craving to earn and accumulate sufficient money to sustain their family was the key reason provided by both women as well as men who propose to have children (50 percent as well as 53 percent, correspondingly), trailed by the longing to become more financially stable and get forward in their profession (28 percent and 33 percent, correspondingly).

One in seven women who intend to have children (15 percent) stated they are willing to wait until they attain no less than 35 years to begin a family. Sixty-three percent of women are keen to wait till 30 years while men were two times as probable to delay having children until no less than 35 years at 30 percent.

"There is a growing trend among today's workforce — both men and women are waiting to have children until they have reached their professional and financial goals," stated Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer at CareerBuilder, adding, "Despite similar reasons for postponing family plans, men and women differ widely on how much they expect to earn and at what level of position over their careers."

When questioned to reckon the pay they would eventually attain in their professions, men were much more probable than women to testify they anticipate to net $100,000 or extra. Forty-four percent of men stated they anticipate to attain a six figure pay contrasted to 20 percent of women.

On average, the uppermost pay men revealed they anticipate to attain throughout their careers is approximately $137,000. Women expect to earn roughly $79,000 on average.

Men are as well more probable than women to anticipate greater job levels throughout their profession, more than doubling women's anticipation percentage in company proprietor and vice president levels. Twenty-two percent of women anticipate to stay or attain entry-level contrasted to 10 percent of men.

Nowadays a third of women (34 percent) do not consider they net the equivalent salary as their opposite sex in their company who have comparable skill and credentials. Men are not as swayed about the salary disparity; 82 percent state they get the equivalent salary.
