The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only and that is to support the ultimate career.
Due to changing economic dynamics, the number of working women is on the rise. In almost all fields, young girls are making waves, working hard to support their families, but in the process, are their homes and families being neglected?
Being a homemaker is the toughest job anyone can opt for. A woman trying to make all possible attempts to keep her family happy and safe is never appreciated to the fullest.
Working through all the seven days a week with no holiday and no salary is not easy. After all the hard work and backbreaking e orts, what she gets to hear is, “Oh, you are just a homemaker, you sit at home the whole day with no work to do”.
This is the 21st century and the conversation on measuring and paying for housework is coming alive forcefully.
According to a UN report, women perform approximately 75 percent of the world’s unpaid services which measures up to 13 percent of the gross global GDP.
In the 2011 Census, 159.9 million (15.99 crore) women declared “household work” to be their main occupation. The value of this unpaid labour is about 16 lakh crore per annum as stated by feminist economists.
The UN survey said women do everything from cooking and cleaning to fetching water and rewood, and taking care of children and the elderly. They single-handedly manage over two-and-a-half times more household work than men, as a result of which they have less time to engage in paid labour.
