Men and women also have different opinions and reactions to leaving the house for work, Dorment says. Men today want to be better fathers than men in previous generations, men still feel like they have to provide for the family, even if they have wives that bring in forty-five percent of the family income (Dorment 709). This is why men feel as though they can work long hours away from home. They feel as though they are sacrificing time with their kids to provide for the family (even though they may still miss their kids). Women, Dorment points out, have a different reaction to leaving their kids to go to work. They feel guilty and experience

Kaydian Roberts Professor Nazos English 101-53 03/29/13 The faces behind Stay at home dads The belief that men are not capable of taking care of a child is now being challenged. Fathers are now taking on a more active role in their child’s life by allowing their wives to

All mothers have the protective instinct for their children. So what happens if they have a baby then go back on the job and ended wanting to leave completely, they will not be able to leave until their contract is fully done and completed if they do not fulfill the contract they will be sent to court martial. So I leave that women should stay at home with their children because they can handle it way more than men can. Don’t get me wrong some men take care of their kids great but it’s better for a mom to stay home with them and make sure absolute everything is going okay and won’t have to stress about it as much when you are away from them.

Women's careers are difficult to get. Workers preferably like men more than woman, so men are for sure to get what they want but not so much for women. Society thinks that men are better than women. The likelihood of women getting a job is very not so high, because

Since women’s acceptance in the labour market the typical Australian family being ‘male breadwinner’ have been replaced by ‘dual income’ families where one partner works full-time while the other works part-time (Chesters 2011). As a result, there was an adjustment in the division of domestic labour where it became more equal as couples divide their time between paid and unpaid work (Chesters 2013). According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS 2009) gender roles in housework became more flexible whilst women participate in paid employment. Men would spend more time doing ‘core female’ domestic activities such as cooking and laundry and less time on outdoor activities such as home maintenance and lawn mowing (ABS 2009). In addition, men take on a greater role with regard to childcare where they spend more of their care time on play activities, these activities are normally done the same time as other activities (ABS 2009). However, some research has found that the ‘more dependent husbands are on their wives for income the less housework’ they would do in order to protect their masculinity (Baxter, Hewitt & Western 2009). Although there is hardly any difference in time spend on household work between full-time and part-time employed men it is is evident unemployed men spend only between 4 and 5 hours more doing housework as

The Gender Wage Gap In the 21st Century the number of women enrolling in higher education institutions is surpassing the numbers of men enrolled. The graduation rates of women from high school and higher education are most often higher than for men. The number of women graduates from most professional occupations, including higher paying medicine, law and business, will exceed the number of men graduates in the near future. In numerous occupational areas with a majority of women graduates, salaries already surpass salaries in occupational areas with a majority of men graduates.

Due to these beliefs women are marrying later, having fewer children and divorcing more often. Men use to except that their careers would be more important than their wives’ and that they would do less child care, and because of these conflicting attitudes, women sometimes feel unable to work even if they want to. Also according to Stuart Sidle “the husbands work load had a strong influence on decisions to leave the workforce with women with husbands working over 45 hours per week having a greater likelihood of leaving the workforce than women with husbands who worked between 35-45 hours per week

The following is a graph showing the number of graduates between 2012 and 2013. Reason for the low numbers of women in STEM. Masculine culture. Masculine cultures are environments that fosters great sense of belonging and ability to be successful in boys rather than in girls. One aspect is the stereotype in Computer Science where the theme image is that of someone who is only focused on programming and being socially awkward. This goes against what women see themselves. (Women are socially conscious). However, the number of females taking law and medicine has risen over the past decade. This can be related to the popular culture of seeing women rise in these fields on the T.V.

The Pew report statistics give a clear picture of how family dynamics have shifted in recent years, but it still leaves the question: why are more fathers choosing to take on the role of caregiver, rather than the more traditional role of breadwinner as did fathers in past generations? Like most sociological questions of this nature, the answer is complex. According to the academic journal “I Feel Like a Rock Star”: Fatherhood for Stay-at-Home Fathers by Catherine Richards Solomon, two of the main reasons fathers are choosing to stay home with their children these days include: their wives having higher earning potential, and the couples belief that one parent staying at home with the child plays a crucial role in the well-being of the family (7-8). While all of the parents in Solomon’s study valued the idea of one parent staying home, they held no distinction about what sex makes a better caregiver (Solomon, 9). Solomon herself writes “Although for

Option #1: Academic Writing Mothers are very passionate about their choice to work or stay at home with their children. This is a heated debate about what is best for children and who is the better mother. Just in the last generation more mothers are choosing to work, which is also sparking some conflict in families where grandparents felt it was important to stay at home with their children. This paper compares and contrasts both sides of working and being a stay at home mother. While there is no right or wrong answer to the work and family dilemma, it’s important to understand both sides.

More According new research from Oxford University, female graduates are limiting their career possibilities by waiting or applying for 'worthwhile' jobs, whilst male graduates are driven by salary.

Despite women outnumbering men in U.S. colleges and the implementation of legislation like the 1963 Equal Pay Act the pay differences persist. According to some the pay gap persists because: • Men are more likely to pursue college majors and advanced degrees in fields that lead to higher-paying careers. • Women are
