How did the Nazis Implement Women's Policies?
Area 1:INCREASED BIRTHS
Key Measures Attempted
improved maternity services, provided financial aide to those with children, propaganda to increase the social status of women who birth more children (MutterKrauz). Also, those who were single had been more heavily taxed, and abortion was frowned upon, except in the case of "undersirables." later in the war, inter-marraige relations were incouraged if it was for the birthing of children.
Successes
A general slight increase in the population up until 1939.
Limitations and Failures
Eugenics program limitted the potential of population increase. Also, birth rates barely rose and started to decline after 1939.
Area 2:REDUCED EDUCATION
Key Measures Attempted
To decrease the female enrollemnt of high education to 10%, how ever as the war began, restrictions were relazed.
Successes
It further separated the women and men to their desired duties of the state.
Limitations and Failures
A large percentage of the population lacked proper education, and as the war called for the women to partake in the direct effort, they had lacked the education needed to effectively aide the state.
