据英国某诊所透露,目前做绝育手术的年轻女子迅速增多,她们都没有孩子,也不打算要孩子。5年前,还没有听到过年轻妇女做这类手术的先例。据利兹大学妇产科教授珍妮·杰弗说,大约有5%的英国妇女20岁前就做了绝育手术。这一比例比欧洲其它地方,甚至比美国都要高。为什么会出现这样的现象呢?从某种意义上说,这表明了妇女对生育孩子的态度的转变。据人口调查办公室调查,在60、70、80年代出生的妇女中,有20%的人不想要孩子,其中一半人已经因各种原因做了绝育手术。施行绝育手术的妇女中,职业妇女占大岁数。 According to a British clinic, the number of young women currently undergoing sterilization is increasing rapidly. They have no children and do not plan to have children. Five years ago, there were no precedents for young women to do such surgery. According to Jenny Jeffer, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Leeds, about 5% of British women have undergone sterilization surgery before the age of 20 years. This proportion is even higher than in the rest of Europe. Why does this happen? In a sense, this shows that women’s attitude toward childbearing is changing. According to a survey conducted by the Population Survey Office, 20% of women born in the 60s, 70s, and 80s did not want children, and half of them had been sterilized for various reasons. Among women who have undergone sterilization surgery, professional women account for a large number of years.
