In society, it is seen that women are not worthy of working in the workforce as their roles are seen working at home, but due to the increase in unemployment , a smaller increase in casual jobs and part-time work was attributed to women entering the workforce. “Unpaid domestic work remains within traditional gender roles, with women dedicating a third of their waking hours to housework and men a fifth.” On the contrary, due to the slight increase in women in the workforce, women are still numerous working at home cleaning, cooking, washing. This statement further highlights the fact that regardless of why they work, women will always be paid a significantly low amount of money due to gender roles in society.

Men are always compared to women who have more priorities, easy job and good pay, while women are below standards for working in a bad environment with insignificant and low amount of money..
