A trend in women's change in attitude to work and home life roles has launched because more and
more women begin to feel the stress and exhaustion when they play multiple roles.

want to cut work hours because they find it difficult to take care of household responsibilities while
maintaining a career. The Female Lifestyle Survey of Great Britain 2004 found that 86% of full time
working women did most of the housework and 77% did most of the child rearing, which; has made them quite exhausted.
