Abstract:
Because of tight economic situations, Filipino Women, particularly the Mathers have to work.
Before, their roles were confined to the home,
taking good care of their children, waiting
on to meet the husband, and attending to various household chores. But because of
present realities, they had to abandon their
traditional roles. On one hand this is mast reality welcome, considering that they can
augment the salaries of their husbands and can the same time attain fulfillment in their
chosen careers. On the other hand, it puts
greater pressure on them since they play a
dual role-- that of a homemaker ( a mother and
wife) and that of a career woman ( or as part
of the labor force.) Because they do not have
time to carry out the responsibilities to
both their families and career, they now
face tremendous difficulties -- or the so
called "double burden experiences.”
Thus, this study deals with a comparative
analysis of the double burden dilemmas
faced by working mothers in the blue and
white collar sector of the metropolis.
