Work, age and gender

In Class 11 Home Science, this topic examines how work is shaped by age and gender within the broader study of Work, Livelihood and Career. Students explore the difference between paid and unpaid work, household responsibilities, occupational roles, and the ways social expectations influence who performs particular tasks. They consider changing work patterns, fairness, dignity, and equal opportunities, while developing a thoughtful understanding of how families, communities, and workplaces can support inclusive livelihoods and career choices.
