Reading this article has given a whole new perspective on the importance of women contributing to the society by way of their career and such. Although I do believe in women working when needed, however as stated in the article that women in the third world countries who do have jobs or have started working are exposed to very ill environment, sexual abuse and other types of gender discrimination. I believe that it is going to take a very long time before it starts to get better in the work force for women in the third world countries. And, if and when everything does start to get better for the women there i fear that it will turn completely into what is happening in the west. Women rite now in the third world are being oppressed in this way, but once it turns into a western like lifestyle women will start to have children much later in life and would be obligated to work. Being in the work force would be something expected of them like it is in the west, especially since stated in the article that it would be very beneficial the economy. I do believe that the greed of bettering the economy will start to play a huge role in encouraging and expecting women to go into the work force. As for the western like lifestyle, I believe that it’s going to go up to that level and once it does children won’t have mothers at home anymore therefore would get less parenting and less attention, thereby increasing the misguidance of children in life(i.e. drugs, gangs ect). The amount money and organization it would take to make something like this happen (i.e. legal and social protection) so women would feel safer going to work and working long hours is something I think is unfeasible. In the end i do support women going into the work force, i just think it can’t really happen correctly( i.e. right hours, conditions, pay ect).
