Abstract

This article provides my personal opinion on women’s challenges juggling their responsibilities between paid workforce and household responsibilities. It is based on my observation at my workplace and social circle. Neolieralisation has resulted in increased participation of women in the paid workforce around the world. This has resulted in significant social and economic benefits for women personally as well as for the economy (International Growth Centre, 2021). However, owing to these benefits we often do not pay attention to the negative effects of this on women’s lives, for example, bad mental health because of increased work pressure and household responsibilities.
