A fundamental aspect of the success of any social policy is attention to the needs of stakeholders and the demands of the policy’s target community. Adopting an approach where policy issues are viewed through the lens of target groups creates a platform for fostering a more empathetic space between policymakers and policy audiences and efficiency, and effectiveness. Employed mothers in Iran, as one of the subgroups targeted in population policy design, have been addressed through various provisions of the Law of Supporting Families aimed at facilitating their childbearing conditions. The present study seeks to explore the proposed solutions of employed women to overcome childbearing barriers and more effectively fulfill family roles, framed through their lived experiences and the challenges they face regarding childbearing. This study was conducted using a qualitative method, with 22 married employed women from the Tehran Social Security Organization selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis technique. The finding revealed that the proposed solutions of employed women fall into four main themes: "Generous Welfare Measures," "Adaptive Solutions," "Law Reform-Oriented Solutions," and "Revisiting Cultural and Educational Policies." Some challenges faced by employed women in the workplace related to childbearing stem from the labor market’s systemic neglect of women’s employment at the macro level and organizational disregard for working mothers, reflecting a broader dismissal of the maternal role of employed women. The findings emphasize the need to support the maternal presence of women in society, honor motherhood, and develop an Islamic model of employed motherhood.
