A woman does most care work at home after paid employment. Which concept explains this?

Correct answer: Double burden

A double burden refers to a situation in which a woman performs paid employment while also carrying most unpaid care work at home, such as caring for children, older persons, and other family members. Therefore, option A is correct. Gendered division of labour helps explain why care work is often assigned to women, but the specific combination of paid work and domestic care responsibilities is called a double burden. Exam tip: mention both paid work and unpaid care work when defining the term.
