Re: Working women
My point was rural women are also involved in helping their husbands / brothers at the stage of crop harvest. yes, I know urban women who manage both sides, but its very difficult for them where don’t have support that is available to rural women due to joint family system.
Agree, nowadays both men and women have to work to make both ends meet. Rural women have been helping hand to the men since cenuries. If you ever visited rural Sindh and Punjab, you can observe women working in cotton fields having children with them (attached to their backs through a chaadar). Working women in urban (especially in South Asia) is comparatively a new phenomon and not too old in European countries. Point is rural women, who is considered not contributing towards economy is a myth.
Why younger generation doesn’t like to be part of joint family?
