22. ROLE OF FAMILY IN BALANCING
WORK AND LIFE
In today's families, the man holds a full-time job with
career prospects, while the woman works reduced hours
for lower pay with few opportunities for career
advancement.
The reason for women working reduced hours is to free up
time for housework and particularly for caring for children.
Such an approach not only promotes continued inequality,
but also a continuation of the undervaluation of care work
by society in general. Thus, in order to balance a burden
of household activities, they can be distributed equally
among each member of family.
