If a woman work is called a hobby in the family, what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Her labour and contribution are undervalued
Describing a woman’s work as merely a “hobby” suggests that it is not being treated as a serious social or economic contribution. Her time, skills, and labour may therefore be undervalued. Option D states the opposite, because calling work a hobby does not strengthen its recognition as employment. Exam tip: In questions on women and work, focus on recognition and valuation of labour.
