How did the Nazis Implement Women's Policies?

Area 1:Increased Births


Key Measures Attempted:
- Attempt for More Pure German Births.
- Incentive measures for those who had babies right after their marriages etc.
-mothers cross ( make women feel more equal in society)



Successes:
- birth rate up
-infant mortality rate up
-more marriages producing children.
-gave women " quasi-rights" they were able to have children out of wedlock, and divorce so that they could produce more german babies.

Limitations and Failures:
Marriage Law,
Having Babies out of wedlock was controdictary to what they'd originally wanted.
If you didn't have children you were penalized or taxed highly
Steralization of those who were undesirable



Area 2: Public Life




Key Measures Attempted
- dismissal of women from medical and public jobs
- no women in the reichstag
- no women professors or teachers.






Successes
- no women were involved in politics: they were at home as Nazi Ideology would have wanted.
-women were involved in women/girls groups and unions, so that they would not feel too restrained.
-involved in lectures and rallies, confrences




Limitations and Failures
- no women in the work force when war broke out.
-women were not allowed to help make any decisions
- women were trained to work in the home
