Women homemaker: 51% preference?
In the volitile sixties, hippy women were 'flower children' putting a flower the barrels of national guard troops called out to corale their protests.
In the seventies women became Femenists.
In the eighties and nineties, most young adult women, upto 90% became full time or part time workers peaking about the year 2000.
In the period since the peak, women realized that few made it to the top of the corporate food chain or even into the upper management. This truth has been known to men forever...there is one King, one on top of the hill, one is not many and is the loneliest number... Women decide that the drudgery of work was no better than staying home to clean, raise kids plus their homonal clock now urged them to bear children. Those not rising or without the prospect of rising upto managment often decided stay home was a better lifestyle.

Job versus Homemaking
If they had the choice, the 51 percent majority of women aged 18 or older would prefer to have a job outside the home and a smaller 44 percent would choose to stay home and take care of the family. Among men, the figures are 76 percent and 22 percent, respectively, according to a Gallup survey.
The difference in attitudes by age is small. Among women aged 18 to 49, the 52 percent majority would prefer a job to homemaking. Among women aged 50 or older, 49 percent would prefer having a job--slightly greater than the 48 percent who would prefer homemaking.
By education, the difference in attitudes is bigger. Women with at least some college education would prefer a job to homemaking by 57 to 38 percent. Women with less education would prefer homemaking to a job by 53 to 41 percent.
