PHỤ NỮ TRONG NƠI LÀM VIỆC
Một số người nghĩ về vai trò giới tính 'truyền thống' giống như một bộ phim sitcom truyền hình thập niên 1950: Bố mặc bộ đồ com–lê của mình và đến văn phòng, trong khi mẹ, mặc chiếc tạp dề, ở nhà và làm việc nhà. Nhưng trong phần lớn lịch sử loài người, dù làm việc trong văn phòng hay trên đồng ruộng, cả phụ nữ và đàn ông đều phải rất nỗ lực để chăm sóc gia đình. Và đó là tình huống mà bây giờ chúng ta dường như đang quay trở lại.
Đến năm 2050, phụ nữ sẽ chiếm 47% lực lượng lao động ở Hoa Kỳ, tăng từ 30% vào năm 1950. Nhưng một số chuyên gia dự đoán rằng, ít nhất là trong ngắn hạn, số phụ nữ trong lực lượng lao động thực sự có thể vượt qua con số của đàn ông. Lý do là gì? Trong thời kỳ suy thoái kinh tế bắt đầu vào năm 2008, nhiều công việc biến mất khỏi các ngành công nghiệp truyền thống do lao động nam thống trị, như sản xuất.
Trừ khi có nhiều công việc sản xuất thủ công xuất hiện, có thể là phụ nữ, những người thường làm việc trong lĩnh vực chăm sóc sức khỏe, giáo dục và các ngành dịch vụ khác, sẽ dẫn đầu trong thị trường lao động.
