Abstract: 

Women's contribution to social and economic activities does not necessarily lead to any changes in their home duties, the result of a new study by a faculty member of Allameh Tabatabaii University showed.

Conducted by Zohreh Khosravi under the theme of "studying family problems", the research clarified that women, regardless of their social status, working hours, and income rate take on the majority of duties at home by themselves.

"Today, women's employment has changed their viewpoint on sharing home chores and managing the family's economy", the report added.

Half of the women studied in the research believe in sharing responsibilities. And a great percentage of them spend their total income for everyday family expenses.
