Multiple roles of women: the reality check

Many people continue to hold beliefs about the impacts of mothers working outside the house. It is said that it affects women as well as their marriages and children. Despite numerous studies showing that employment actually has beneficial effects, it is commonly assumed that being a wife and a mother comes naturally and effortlessly compared to the perceived challenging nature of being an employee. These convictions raise worries amongst health experts about women’s ability to manage roles without significant and adverse health issues affecting them. Therefore, it is crucial to assess these convictions based on informed research findings. At this moment, it is also important to assess the situation as there is a rise in the number of working mothers and an increasing importance towards paid jobs amongst contemporary women. There is a drastic shift away from the conventional idea of a family in our society which is heading towards continuous progress. The importance of this research lies in the emphasis of the existing atmosphere that attributes women’s role as a contributing factor to various societal challenges like school dropout rates, substance abuse issues among youth, juvenile delinquency and marital separations.
