Working women
In our country, a high percentage of non-working women have husbands with a high level of income. Another important finding is that less educated women have more children than more educated women, regardless of their working status. The level of education and work status of women would determine the variation in their performance in different areas at home. As expected, non-working women are found to spend more time in child care, personal care and other activities at home than working women. On the other hand, working women are found to be more efficient in raising mentally- developed and well- adjusted children. Working women take greater control in decision making at home than non-working women. Husbands seem to be more satisfied with the non-working wives than the working wives. A greater percentage of unhappy wives are also working women. Job satisfaction of working women can only make up partially for their discontent regarding child care and house care.
In our society, I see that a non-working woman is considered as good a wife as a working woman. I feel this is a fallacy because it is only natural that working women will be required to perform more than one task at a time for the simple reason that they do not have the time to perform each task separately and with the same care.
A different method for judging their performance should be evolved.
