What Every Woman Must Know: Parenting and Working Should Never Be The Death of Women : Family Life : Parent Herald
Women who work 60 hours per week or more over 30 years actually triple their risk of cancer, heart trouble, diabetes, and arthritis according to a report on The Ohio State University. At just 40 hours, the risk begins to climb, and takes a decidedly bad turn over 50. On the other hand, men can naturally get healthier the longer they work. Researchers believe that this is due to the fact that women face additional pressure in their home lives.
For couples, most especially those with kids, it is the woman who usually does nearly all domestic chores. A research of twenty-two developing nations revealed that men do thirty-four minutes of housework and cooking for every female hour, and provide twenty-four minutes of childcare to a woman's hour as cited on Telegraph. The 15th worst is the UK pay gap at 17.4%. This means that women are not only literally killing themselves working, but also doing it on the cheap.
This system is obviously not working for anybody, for both men and women, as nobody wants his wife/colleague or 50% of the population thrombo-ing out because of the way society is structured. Thus, there is really a need to put a stop dismissing all this stuff as merely a "women's issue" and begin talking about it as a collective problem, a dilemma that must be immediately addressed.
