The chairperson of the House of Representatives labor and employment committee has urged for more flexible work arrangements that would help women tasked with overseeing domestic activities be productive at home.
Besides flexible working arrangements, Nograles also underscored the need for social protection programs that would allow women to engage in paid work without feeling like they are neglecting their family’s wellbeing. He also called for “a change in attitude in how we view domestic work,” which could pave the way for redistributing unpaid work between men and women in families.“It is high time that we discard old notions of domestic work being the sole responsibility of women,” Nograles said. He noted that by addressing these hindrances, parity in the labor participation force could be achieved.
