    The document discusses gender division of labor and the multiple burdens faced by women. It describes productive work done outside the home typically assigned to men, and reproductive work like childrearing and housework traditionally assigned to women. This results in women facing a double burden of both productive and reproductive tasks. The vision presented is for a more equal sharing of breadwinning, parenting, and housework between men and women.

    GENDER

    DIVISION
    OF LABOR
    GENDER DIVISION OF
    LABOR

    the assignment of tasks and roles


    to men and women on account
    sex
    The tendency or attitude, to
    ascribe particular traits,
    characteristics and roles distinct
    to men and distinct to women,
    that are often unquestioned and
    carried at the back of people’s
    minds
    Roles of
    Women and
    Men
    PRODUCTIVE WORK
    Work that brings in money, often located
    outside the home
    Breadwinning is traditionally
    assigned to men, but women have
    been doing productive roles but
    often regarded as secondary source
    of income.
    REPRODUCTIVE WORK
    Work that ensures
    welfare of the family,
    often done around
    the house;

    Came from the


    assumption that
    women are
    “caregivers”
    GENDER DIVISION OF LABOR
    • In 1985, the United Nations recognized
    the double burden of women as the
    greatest injustice in the world.
    • The reproductive roles such as
    childbearing, childrearing and
    housework are traditionally assigned to
    women.
     In the community, women’s roles are
    extensions of their reproductive role; while
    men’s roles are organized in formal decision-
    making structures.
     Failure to recognize the contribution of
    household, particularly women, to social and
    economic welfare.
    WOMEN’S
    MULTIPLE BURDEN
    Result of juggling productive and reproductive
    work to augment household income.
    • Multiple Burden

    Refers to doing unpaid work in the home,


    paid work as members of the workforce
    and volunteer work in the community

    Multiple burden in terms of longer hours


    of work and greater responsibility at home,
    in the community and at the workplace.
    Juan de la Cruz goes
    to the doctor
    Doctor: What is your job?
    Juan: I am a farmer
    Doctor: Have you any children?
    Juan: God has been good to me. I have
    7 children.
    Doctor: Does your wife work?
    Juan: No, she stays at home.
    Doctor: I see. How does she spend her
    day?
    Juan: Well, she gets up at four in
    the morning, fetches water and
    wood, makes the fire, cooks
    breakfast and cleans the house.
    Then she goes to the river and
    washes clothes. Once a week
    she walks to the grinding mill.
    After that
    she goes to the town with the two
    smallest children where she sells
    tomatoes by the roadside while she
    knits. She buys what she wants from
    the shops. Then cooks the midday
    meal.

    Doctor: You come home at midday?


    Juan: No, she brings the meal to my
    place.
    Doctor: And after that?
    Juan: She stays in the field to do
    the weeding, and then goes to the
    vegetable garden to water.

    Doctor: What do you do?


    Juan: I must go and discuss
    business and drink with the men
    in the village.
    Doctor: And after that ?
    Juan: I go home for supper which my
    wife prepared.
    Doctor: Does she go to bed after
    supper?

    Juan: No. I do. She has many things to


    do around the house until 9 or
    10:00pm.
    Doctor: But I thought you said
    your wife doesn’t work.

    Juan: Of course, she doesn’t


    work. I told you she stays
    home.
    However,

    the good news is

    Gender Roles

    do change.
    The Vision
    should be:
    SHARED
    BREADWINNING
    SHARED
    parenting
    SHARED
    housework
    Thank you for
    listening!
