Publisher Description
Introduction Undoubtedly, women play vital, prominent and dynamic roles in a country's socio-economic development. While being either full-time or part-time industry workers, they are also homemakers who run the household. It is important to note that women bear the weight of housework, regardless of marital status and employment (Shin 2005; Adair et al. 2002; Morada 2001; Treas and Widmer 2000; Miralao 1980).
