Question

The double burden borne by many women—work outside the home followed by child care and housework—is referred to as_________.

Answer 1

Answer:

the childcare and housework that women have to perform in addition to work outside the home is known as the second shift.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, it is still a human universal that women do the majority of housework in all countries. Harlie Hochschild has referred to this burden as "the second shift." In the author's interviews with research subjects, she found there was marital tension surrounding this issue in many couples and that women had a lack of sexual interest and were sleep deprived as a result. Hochschild also found that men in her study preferred the traditional role for women. Women should perform all the domestic work in their view. Women preferred an egalitarian arrangement where the housework and responsibilities with the children were shared.
