If a woman worker leaves training due to child care, why should it not be seen as personal weakness?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it reflects a structural lack of child-care support
Child-care responsibilities, lack of affordable crèches, time constraints, and inadequate family support can limit a woman’s participation in training. Thus, leaving training does not show a personal lack of ability or motivation; it points to a structural barrier related to care support. Option C is an unfair generalisation: many women complete training when suitable support and opportunities are available. Exam tip: use terms such as “structural barrier” and “child-care support” in your answer.
