    The document discusses the historical division of labor between men and women based on gender roles. In the 19th century, women's roles were restricted to household work like childrearing, cleaning, and cooking while men worked in public spheres like business and politics. By the late 1800s, women were expected to care for the home and family. However, gender roles have become more equal over time, with men now assisting with household chores and childcare. Data from the Philippines still shows lower labor force participation among women compared to men.

    GENDER DIVISION

    OF LABOR

    The division of labor


    describes how each society
    assigns work to boys and
    girls, men and women,
    based on socially
    constructed gender roles or
    what is seen desirable and
    appropriate for each sex.

    The domestic environment in


    the 19th century included
    women's roles. Women were
    restricted to their homes and
    mostly in charge of household
    chores and childrearing, while
    men took part in public
    responsibilities like business
    and politics.

    In the late 1800s, women


    were supposed to take care
    of the home, bear children,
    clean, cook, sew, and
    generally take care of the
    household.

    Men now assist women


    with household chores.
    They even take care of the
    children while remaining at
    home. These days, some
    males also cook, clean, and
    do laundry.

    Data on labor force participation


    rate by sex since 2008, as provided
    by the Philippine Statistics
    Authority, indicates that women's
    LFPR has continuously lagged
    behind men's. According to the
    2020 report, the percentage of
    women in the labor force was just
    34.5 percent, while the percentage
    for men was 54.8 percent.
