THE WOMAN IN BUSINESS

THE WOMAN IN BUSINESS

THE AFRICA PERSPECTIVE

IN AFRICA THE WOMAN, WAS SEEN AS PEOPLE WHO NEEDED TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO KEEP A FAMILY AND TO MAINTAIN A HOME. WOMEN WERE SEEN AS MAIN INSTRUMENT FOR PROCREATION.IN OTHER WORDS, WOMEN IN AFRICA WERE JUST A MERE ‘COLLECTION IN A GALLERY. (MEN CAN ACQUIRE AS MANY AS THEY WANT)

WOMEN WERE MOSTLY FOUND IN THE KITCHEN AND OTHER ABSURD PLACES.THE BIRTH OF A WOMAN HOW ARE THEY CELEBRATED? WITH RIDICULE AND BITTERNESS

21ST CENTURY WOMAN

THE WOMAN NOW STANDS ON AN ENVIABLE PEDESTAL.
MORE WOMEN WORK FULL OR PART TIME PAID JOBS.
THEY HAVE NOW ACQUIRED HIGHER OR MORE EDUCATION; SKILL TRAINING.
THE HIGHER WAGES FOR WOMEN HAVE PRODUCED OTHER REALLOCATION OF TIME AND PURCHASING PATTERNS TO FACILITATE LABOUR MARKET WORK. LIKE DAY CARE SERVICE, HOME CLEANING SERVICE E.T.C

THE OUTCOME

1.INCREASE IN DIVORCE RATE
2.MARITAL INSTABILITY AS EVIDENCE BY HIGH DIVORCE RATES HAVE MOTIVATED MANY WOMEN TO EITHER STAY SINGLE, GIVE BIRTH OUTSIDE WEDLOCK OR OPT FOR ADOPTION.
3.THEY DON’T SPEND MUCH TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN. CHILDREN NOW HAVE TO LEAVE IN CONSTANT DEPRESSION AND MENTAL AGONY OF STAYING WITH A SINGLE PARENTS.
4.THERE IS AN ACUTE INCREASE IN CHILD DELINQUENCY.
THE MORAL OF THE 21ST CENTURY WOMAN’S CHILDREN IS WEAKER AS COMPARED TO THOSE OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURY.
5.DESPITE THE INCREASE IN TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY CRIME RATE HAVE BECOME SOPHISTICATED AND UNREASONABLE.
MOST CHILDREN NOW ENTER INTO INTERNET SCAM MAKE ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR BOISTEROUS THINGS.
8.PROMISCUITY AMONG THE 21ST CENTURY WOMAN HAVE NOW REACHED AN UNPRECEDENTED HEIGHT.

HISTORY WILL TELL US CATEGORICALLY THAT WOMEN IN THE PAST HAD BEEN RELEGATED TO THE BACKGROUND BUT NOW LOOKING AT WHAT THE 21ST CENTURY WOMAN HAS BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE THE STATUS QUO, I THINK THEY DESERVE A STANDING OVATION. THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES AND THE WORLD AS A WHOLE.

IN AS MUCH AS WE AGITATE FOR PARITY AND I ALWAYS ASK WOMEN TO COME OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE, WE SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO HIT A BALANCE IN ALL. WE SHOULD ALIGN ALL ACTIVITIES TO AVOID FAILURES IN AN ASPECT IN OUR LIVES.
