Reproductive Sphere

In the reproductive sphere, or in the

household, childcare is a primary
task that has been left mostly to

Women earn less than men. In fact, in
the United States, for each one dollar
($1.00) a man earns, a woman will only
earn 80 cents ($0.80) even if they have
the same qualifications, and the same
responsibilities.
