Student: Safina Alisa

Educational Programme: Psychology (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2019

Despite the fact that motherhood was studied a lot and thoroughly, not much attention was paid to maternity leave and its effect on the mental state of women. The overall goal of this proposal is to investigate the phenomenon of “Postponed Life” in the context of motherhood, its presence in women on maternity leave, and its influence on the emotional state of women. This study will include a sample of 10 people, 5 women who have already completed maternity leave and 5 women who are on maternity leave at the moment. The existence of the phenomenon of “Postponed life” will be assessed, as well as the difference between the subjective perception of the impact of the phenomenon on the lives of women who are on maternity leave and women who have already completed maternity leave.
