Why can time management be difficult for a woman working both at home and outside?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the double burden of household and outside work increases time pressure
When a woman manages household work, care responsibilities and paid work outside the home together, she has limited time for each task. This double burden creates time pressure, often called time poverty. Option D is incorrect because household responsibilities usually continue even when she works outside. Exam tip: Define ‘double burden’ as the combined responsibility of domestic and paid/outside work.
