dc.description.abstractIn most societies, the gender stratification system tends to favour males although this is a matter of degree. At one extreme, women’s power is minimal and confined to the household. At the other end of the continuum are relatively egalitarian social systems in which power differences are narrowed and women have important roles in non-family institutional spheres. There is a culturally universal belief that females are entrusted with child care and other tasks. The logic behind this division of labour is related to a mother’s need to remain as a nurse to the family. Stressful life events of men also involve more changes and are of greater magnitude than those of women due to the nature of men’s jobs involving decisions and higher risks than women’s work compared to the boring and repetitions nature of house-work in which most women are involved. The fact that women are often dependent upon men for economic support and for their sense of personal worth is also indicative of magnitude of the stressful life events of men.en_US
