WOMEN AND JOBS
(1)
A woman's place is no longer in the home. Or rather, that is not her only place. Nowadays
increasing number of women go out to work, and very often look after the home and family as
well. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, the enormous and rapid rise in the cost of living has
made a second salary a necessity rather than a luxury for many families; without it, they would
have to face a major cut in their standards of living
Money is by no means the only reason women go out to work. Bringing up a young family and
looking after a home are often full-time jobs. But as the children get older, the work of the
household becomes less demanding, and the housewife finds herself with less and less to do. The
work that she has enjoyed doing as a young wife and mother becomes routine and boring,
(3) Taking on a job outside of the home offers stimulation and interest. It gives her a chance to meet
new people and keep in touch with outside events and interests. It may also enable a woman to
take advantage of qualifications and training that she has been unable to use while her family
was growing up. All too often, a highly qualified woman is only able to work for a few years
before the demands of looking after a young family remove her from employment.
The tendency of professional women to return to work after starting a family means that an
important reserve of skill is thereby made available once again. The resulting increase in the
numberof working women is bound to have a profound effect on the nation's economy.
