If a woman has to work continuously at home and job, how does time poverty arise?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When very little time remains for rest, learning and self-development
Time poverty occurs when paid employment is combined with continuous unpaid domestic work such as cooking, cleaning and caring for children or other family members. This double workload leaves very little time for rest, learning skills, social participation and personal development. Options B, C and D indicate more available time or a reduced workload, so they do not create time poverty. Exam tip: define time poverty as a lack of personal time after essential work, not simply a lack of income.
