In today’s economy, when the cost of everything is going very high, it is very hard to raise the kids and run the family. When women work, it gives the benefit of more earning power and stability to the family. On the one side it has benefits. On the other side, research indicates that husbands are
For example, women used to do just domestic tasks and take care of their children at home and men were responsible to work very hard to bring money to their homes. Since then, the gender wage gap has affected women and men. Because of this fact, many companies think that women are not designed to do different kinds of tasks and they do not have the same skills as men. For example, men are more likely to have mechanical or computer skills and women are more likely to have nursing or childcare skills. Therefore, the gender wage gap affects women more than men because of the circumstances that happened in the past.
Or is he just too busy to be bothered with such women's work? That is the reason I am constantly disturbed by this ad, for it is part of capitalist ideology, of a patriarchal agenda to socially construct certain roles for different groups. It expresses the unrealistic, common view of men and women and their function in society. Women are often depicted as being the ones responsible for the well maintenance of the house, while men are the ones who guide and direct women as they (men) watch them perform their duty. As years are passing by, there are a few changes occurring such as men becoming a little more preoccupied with the house activities; however, this ad shows that we still live in a patriarchal society and Mr. Clean is the implication of how our culture will always believe in the all powerful man, being the "Head" of our society, even while women are becoming more powerful.
In addition, they are the ones who provides food and clothes; they pay for the bills, and housing as well, and they also are the ones who clean, cook, and do everything in the house. Furthermore single mothers need to have a good job. They are so many single mothers out there that are unable to take care of their families because either there are no jobs or the job they have doesn’t pay enough money. Without a good job, how will they manage to take care of the family? They also have to work extra hard to fill the gaps the father could have done, such as paying the mortgage and helping pay for the bills.
Sarhan also signifies the trials, troubles and temptations of most young people of today. That is, love against money. He had been in a relationship with another woman, Safeya and lived with her in her apartment. He says that he doesn’t love Safeya.

With the enhancement of this new role as bread earners, the responsibility also increased for the women as now they had to look after their work life also along with the family which made it difficult for them to manage both responsibilities simultaneously (Lourel, Ford, Gamassou, Gue´guen, & Hartmann, 2009),(Flechl, 2009), (Work-Life Balance, 2010). Work Life Balance (WLB) has become a hot topic in today’s business world, especially with the intense competitive markets and very demanding jobs. Consequences of work-life imbalance negatively impacts both employers and employees, therefore, understanding all about work-life balance is equally important to both parties. It is a truth that work and family life cannot be separated, they both act together and the lines of demarcation of family life and work life cannot be drawn. With changing times, social structure, nature of business and globalization at fast pace; boundaries of work is changing
The low wages is evident for both men and women at two different parts during the film. In the first part of the film, Louisa is forced to marry Josiah Bounderby because as her father puts it, “he has a substantially higher income then she’ll ever be able to earn.” Also, a worker in the factory named Stephen falls in love with a girl named Rachael, but is unable to obtain a divorce from his estranged wife because only the wealthy can afford them. It’s also evident from the film that life in early-industrialized cities was a time of unequal rights for woman. The women were subject to their man’s authority and wishes throughout the film. An example of this is where Bounderby, upset when he finds out that Louisa doesn’t love him, goes on a huge rant to Louisa’s father about how he can’t let her go because it would ruin his reputation and Louisa doesn’t appreciate him or all he’s done for her.

He tends to live too much in his past and let his failures creep up on him and make a mess of him.
