Another example is the shifting social attitudes which mean that it is more accepted in society for men to do housework. Young and Wilmot’s give a few other reasons for a symmetrical family. One example is that families are becoming privatised- this means that families are more children cantered and spend more time at home. This privatisation has occurs because the families are more affluent- have more money- and due to geographical mobility- they have less help from nearby family members. On the other hand, another group of sociologists believes that families are not symmetrical.
I believe the individuals applying for the homeshoring position will change to extent that the job pool will widen because candidates with disabilities that are confined to their homes will now be viable/qualified candidates to enter the work force. This intern helps the economy become stronger because it will decrease the number of people collecting disability payments because they are unable to
Also, buying healthier snacks may not taste as sweet as donuts or cakes but they do cost less. Students who decide to buy apples and oranges will save a few dollars, compared to those students who are buying donuts and cakes, because the money will start to add up more than they think it will. Making decisions such as eating healthier will also keep students healthy thus providing them with the nutrients to think and perform better during class. My aunt introduced an idea to me which makes sense and also saves money. The idea is called “Pot-lucking”, this is where people from the same dorm or floor puts money together and buys food for all students on the floor one week, and then the next week a different room has the same plan.
This brought about basic changes in lifestyle of Americans. More people could afford new housing, and many people moved to houses in suburbs, which were bigger and had more open spaces. Movement to suburbs was also partly due to better school facilities for children. * At the end of the decade, the median American family had 30% more purchasing power than at the beginning. Inflation, which had wreaked havoc on the economy immediately after World War II, was minimal, in part because of Eisenhower's persistent efforts to balance the federal budget.
A few of the most significant advantages of outsourcing include: Cheaper Labor Possibly the most well known reason to consider outsourcing is to access cheaper labor. Workers in developing countries are paid far less than workers in developing countries due to the lower cost of living. Often these workers are not unionized as well, which further helps with cost cutting. Cut Operating Costs Even though your outsourced work must be paid for, often the costs are cheaper than if your company performed the operation itself. Lower salaries are a part of this benefit, but it goes much deeper.
During their research they found out that in 72% of cases men actually did housework other than the washing up every week. Young & Willmott see this as a positive move and described it as a “march of progress.” By this they mean that men in the past had been lagging behind women in terms of domestic labour and gender roles but now have caught up and are more or less equal or symmetrical. Feminists have severely criticised the work of Young &Willmott, one feminist in particular Ann Oakley claims that, “housework is exclusively allocated to women.” She describes housework as, “unpaid, isolated and makes women economically dependent on men.” Hobson takes this a step further by saying “housework is repetitive compulsive and endless often with no physical separation between work & Leisure for the housewife.” Oakley claimed that full time housewives spent an average of 77 hours per week on housework. Oakley argued that although 72% of men do housework was impressive this was only based on the question “do you help at least once a week with the cleaning for example making the bed or ironing? The problem is a male who ironed a jumper once a week would be included in this 72% even though they are hardly making a contribution to the housework at all.
By hiring new graduates, employers can save money by spending less on training, gain new and fresh ideas from different fields and have employees that are adaptable at multitasking while being more technologically savvy. There are some beneficial reasons for employer to hire fresh graduate over an experienced person such as cost of salary and other cost for resources. The opportunity cost, employers should seek the opportunity of student and experienced person by comparing them. The cost of experienced person is higher than a grandaunt. For example if an employer hires an experienced person for $40 he or she can hire a grandaunt for $20.
Murdock suggested that the family must create a stable satisfaction of the sex drive, with the same partner to prevent a sexual free-for-all. This would benefit the individual as life could be easier for them. For example it would help the mother or father to raise one or two children instead of four or five. This would benefit society as less resources would be used. For example as the population increases the amount of resources used decreases, so less children would mean the less use of electricity or heating, helping society by using little resources.
If women are working more hours than men, many people find it reasonable for women to make more money. From a male point of view, people should be paid based on industry and skill level. It is
Statistics has proven that men that are in their child’s life at birth and a few weeks after have a stronger bond with their children, making them better fathers, and giving the children a better environment to grow up in. Paternity leave will give the father time to be able to take care of the baby without any extra help from others. Fathers should be there; infants need their fathers. If a father has the choice to stay home for the first couple of weeks to take care of his wife and his new child, it will make a world of difference. I think it will also give the mothers time to rest and heal quicker.
