Introduction

Gender analyses could be done on how the divisions of labor are done on household levels in urban or rural irrespective of it. In rural where agriculture is emblematically related the daily wage and a very small scale business and self service as employ. These certain things are then allied to how man or woman would be distinguished according to the work level and intensity.

In times gone by, the family and work sphere of influences have been categorized and revolved such that women have customarily subjugated the family role and men have traditionally conquered the work responsibility and task. This makes this sense of distinguish between them of how and what each of them have been characterized.

Though today women participate in the workforce to the same degree as men (Bureau of Labor Statistics,

A query may arise of how the benefits to men of gender dedicated activities are as unswerving and secure, as you might believe from lessons of the subordination of women, and whether the lack of specialization of labor, preference for the notions of impartiality entrenched in gender analysis.

The inadequate contribution by men as family caregivers presume that with the purpose of the socialization of the prevailing gender typecasts is a worldwide fence connecting men, as the preceding justifications state.

The average number of hours spent per day on paid work, housework and other unpaid household work (including child care) for those aged 25 to 54 has increased steadily over the last two decades, from 8.2 hours in 1986 to 8.8 hours in 2005. All of the increase comes from hours spent in paid work, which rose from an average of 4.7 hours per day in 1986 to 5.4 hours in 2005, while the time spent on unpaid work decreased slightly. These observations contradict the theories that the advancement of technology and growth of production capacity would invariably lead to an increase in free ...
