role of women
case study: Ireland 🇮🇪
past
Very different from today
Ireland was mainly an agricultural economic/farming
Worked at home being wives and mothers
Cheers were arranged and did not plan for families
Few women worked outside that home and very few owned property
today
Over 46% of the workforce are women
Have careers and plan their families
Gender gap still exists between men and women today
factors influence to increase women in workforce
1:
Free secondary education
Girls and boys stayed on at school and continue to university as a result tomorrow women were qualified in law education business health etc and more enter the workforce
2:
Women movement
The woman movement questioned the traditional role of women and encourage women to seek greater fulfilment by working outside their house
