Question

Why does the society devalue the work done by women at home?

Answer 1

the society devalue the work done by women at home because it is assumed that this is something that comes naturally to women

Answer 2

Answer:

The main responsibility for housework and care-giving tasks, like looking after the family, especially children, the elderly and sick members, lies with women. But, the work that women do within the home is not recognised as work. It is also assumed that this is something that comes naturally to women. It, therefore, does not have to be paid for. And society devalues this work.
