If a woman worker has full household work and production targets at the same time, what pressure is created?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Time poverty and physical and mental health strain
Having to complete all household work along with production targets creates a double workload. It leaves less time for rest, self-care and personal needs; this is called time poverty, and sustained overload can also strain physical and mental health. Option B is incorrect because income pressure does not remove the shortage of time. Exam tip: Link the combined burden of domestic and paid work with time poverty and double workload.
