The purpose of this article is to provide a perspective on the dilemmas on professional occupation of women and her reproductive behaviour. Relationship between these two indicators is rather a relative, dependent on the area of cultural and family traditions, marriage and nuptial behaviour, labour market specificities, particularities and care services to preschool education system, etc. A review of the statistical dates and the results of research in the area of reproductive intention of women in childbearing age, highlights the specificities in Moldova, especially in the capital city. The study results show that for the contemporary woman family, children and labour market position are equally important. Problems appear how to conciliate them. Low opportunities for their conciliation, lack of qualitative services for growth and care child and lack of re-employment opportunities influence more or less reproductive intentions of women and their occupational preferences on the labour market.
