Question

Work done by a housewife is devalued.Explain why?

Answer 1

Answer:

because the work done by a housewife doesn't earns anything that's why it is devalued.

Answer 2

The job of a housewife never ends. Housewife’s responsibility starts every day by taking care of the house, children and her husband. Her role is to ‘keep the house clean’, take care of the sick.

EXPLANATION:

It is a job which has no end and the whole house depends on the housewife. People when they work outside get remuneration for it so it is evaluated in terms of money.  

If the housewife is a working lady her jobs still remain the same at home. She needs to multi-task and take care of the household. Normally the value of work is determined with amount of money one is paid for it. But in a household the women do not get ‘paid for the work’ hence it is not seen as a value.
