Answer 1

Answer:    When women work all day, and then must come home to tackle household chores and parenting responsibilities.

Explanation:  The "second shift" is the coin of sociologist Arlie Hochschild and Anne Machung, which they used to describe the burden of home work and the care of children, unfairly and disproportionately transferred to women, who in addition have a regular, paid, first shift, job. The second shift involves all household tasks for almost as long as a regular paid job lasts. That is why these household jobs are known as the second shift.
