The lives of women over the past few decades is the same. But men are still considered second-class woman creature, able only to the role of housewife, mother and wife.

The woman made a huge leap from the superb housewife and homemakers to emancipated, educated, working woman. Her equality is not a call to battle for the right under the sun. This became the norm, without which a woman was not their destiny.

Hamburg Institute of Public Opinion conducted a poll on the streets of the city among women from 20 to 50 years. It turns out that 88 percent of all employed women work only in order not to depend on men.

Nevertheless, in Germany the rights of women affected. This is evidenced by wages, which in men by an average of seven hundred Euros more than the women in the same position, having the same education as men.

For example: for the full-time employees between the ages of 30 to 40 years, earning 3114 euro a man for the same work gets 3844. This information is based on the basis of the Federal Statistical Office.

But despite this, in recent times, women become more self-confident. They are on equal terms with men studying at the universities, led by firms and are at the helm of the state. If, in his eightieth year was only 37 percent of employed women aged 14 to 64 years, but today the figure for Germany is already 57 per cent.

Norbert Vizokovsky, Head of Marketing Group Publishing Milky Way said that women have become more diverse, although for most women, the family is still the foundation of life. However, in recent years an increasing number of women in Germany believe that marriage is not a primary goal in life.

If, in the early eighties, women tried to marry, but now in four aged 56% of women are free, and only 34% are married. Since 1978, the number of non-marital couples shared increased six fold. Today it is 2.28 million couples who live together and are sharing a household, but are not married.

Today, women are interested in not only fashionable dresses, cosmetics, and cars, investments. Women are actively involved in politics. Example, Madeleine Albright, Margaret Thatcher, Kondaliza Rice and the first woman in the history of German Chancellor Merkel.

Although Russia is 120th place in the world in the number of women employed in government, ladies do not try to pass their positions and believe that soon, and for them a place. For example, the composition of the party «United Russia», 51 per cent are women. But, unfortunately, out of 450 deputies in the Duma - only 45 women.

Now a woman seeking a successful career into the business world and forced to work for the male principle. Men do not take it with open arms. They continue to believe that it should be the guardian of the home, but not the leader or head of state. Russian men are more people think that women’s career - this secretary, teacher, accountant, vendor, and advertising agent.

Today, roughly 60 percent of women in Russia are employed in the public sector, where pay is low. According to statistics, currently one in three working Rossiyanka engaged in business,

while 25 per cent level of income higher than that of their male colleagues. As for the future, it is estimated that by 2010 about 40 per cent lead rossiyanok private.

Studies have shown that in contrast to the prevailing stereotype that business success, especially single women, marriage is just as often it is business women (76.6 percent) than managers (56.6 percent) and workers (60 per cent ). The average age of women leaders - 32 years, more often than not they are married.

In the first half of 2006, the natural population decrease in Russia amounted to 415 thousand people. Such data has led the head of the Federal State Statistics Service Vladimir Sokolin. According to the forecasts of demographers, starting in 2007 the natural decline of Russia’s population could reach about one million people.

This problem exists not only in Russia but also throughout Europe. One of the main reasons was the freedom of women. In the XX century ladies received equal rights with men in almost all, and in developed countries, women are increasingly making their careers in various fields up to policy.
