    The document discusses the increasing number of women in the workforce and its effects on families and society. It attributes this rise to women's liberation and feminism movements that began in the 1960s and pushed for equal rights and opportunities for women. As more women pursue careers, families benefit from improved quality of life and financial security, while children gain independence. Society also advances toward greater gender equality as women take on more leadership roles in politics, law, and business. While progress has been made, full equality between the sexes remains an ongoing challenge.

    Title: 

    More and more women are now going out to work and some women are
    now the major salary earner in the family. What are the causes of this, and what
    effect is this having on families and society?

    In the past, most women stayed at home to take care of domestic chores such
    as cooking or cleaning. Women's liberation and feminism have meant that this
    situation has been transformed and in contemporary society women are playing
    an almost equal role to men in terms of work. This has had significant
    consequences, both in terms of the family, for example by improving quality of
    life and increasing children's sense of independence, and also for society itself
    with greater gender equality. 

    The main reasons behind the increase of women in the workplace are women's
    liberation and feminism. The women's liberation movement originated in the
    1960s and was popularized by authors such as Simone de Beauvoir. As a
    consequence of this, new legislation emerged, granting women equal rights to
    men in many fields, in particular employment. Because of feminist ideas, men
    have taken up roles which were previously seen as being for women only, most
    importantly those related to child rearing. As a result of this, women have more
    time to pursue their own careers and interests. 

    These have led to some significant effects, both to family life and to society as a
    whole. 

    Although the earning capacity of a woman in her lifetime is generally much less
    than that of a man, she can nevertheless make a significant contribution to the
    family income. The most important consequence of this is an improved quality
    of life. By helping to maintain a steady income for the family, the pressure on the
    husband is considerably reduced, hence improving both the husband's and the
    wife's emotional wellbeing. Additionally, the purchasing power of the family will
    also be raised. This means that the family can afford more luxuries such as
    foreign travel and a family car. 

    A further effect on the family is the promotion of independence in the children.


    Some might argue that having both parents working might be damaging to the
    children because of a lack of parental attention. However, such children have to
    learn to look after themselves at an earlier age, and their parents often rely on
    them to help with the housework. This therefore teaches them important life
    skills. 
    As regards society, the most significant impact of women going to work is
    greater gender equality. There are an increasing number of women who are
    becoming politicians, lawyers, and even CEOs and company managers. This in
    turn has led to greater equality for women in all areas of life, not just
    employment. For example, women today have much stronger legal rights to
    protect themselves against domestic violence and sexual discrimination in the
    workplace. 

    In conclusion, the increasing number of women at work has brought


    about some important changes to family life, including improved quality of life
    and increased independence for children, as well as affecting society itself. It is
    clear that the sexes are still a long way from being equal in all areas of life,
    however, and perhaps the challenge for the present century is to ensure that
    this takes place.
