3ª Questão
TEXT: Are men and women’s roles in society changing?
By Molly Edmonds
Among the many news stories dedicated to the recession that gripped the USA in the late 2000s were
several pieces that asked whether the economic downturn had led a change in traditional gender roles.
More than 80 percent of the jobs lost during the recession had belonged to men […]. With their husbands
unemployed, women now take on the role of breadwinner, while the men take care of home.
Women in the USA got one of their first tastes of working world during the World War II. The men went
to war, and the women went to the factories and offices. Though the women returned to their homes after
the war, they didn’t remain there for long. The social changes of the 1960s and 1970s caused a cultural
revolution that found many women pursuing careers outside the home. In recent years, more men have
expressed a desire to take on the role of primary caregiver to the children. […]
Though change is still in the air, there’s no doubt that men and women’s roles have become less
strictly defined, and many families have made the male and female roles more egalitarian when it comes to
jobs, housework and childcare.
