More and more women are now joining the paid labour force worldwide. They represent the majority of the workforce in many sectors. Even in countries which have low proportions of women paid workers, such as Arab countries, the number of women who have jobs is rising. In Southeast Asia, women represent up to 80 percent of the workforce in the labour-intensive textile, toy, shoe and electronic sectors. In Latin America and the Caribbean, women make up 70 per cent of the workforce in service industries.
Paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women. In the past, they were often excluded from many paid jobs and thus economically dependent on their husbands or fathers. Women are now better educated and can promote themselves much more easily than in the past. The access to education and the change in economic status have given women more freedom. There are many famous women in the areas which used to be reserved for men and some women have even become prime ministers.

Women’s role in the family has changed dramatically compared with that 50 years ago.
First, women are now better educated and can promote themselves much more easily than in the past. Second, more and more women are now joining the paid labour force worldwide. The number of women who have jobs is rising. Paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women. In the past, they were often excluded from many paid jobs and thus economically dependent on their husband or fathers. Third, they have less children. Today, women often have one, two or even no children instead of a bunch of children in the past. Last but not least, they do less domestic chores thanks to domestic appliances.

In recent years women’s role has changed dramatically in comparison with that 50 years ago. The changes are explicitly seen in many sectors.
Firstly, in education, women nowadays are well educated, that is they can enjoy the benefits of education in every level. Women are not confined in the walls of the family with childbearing or childrearing. They participate in almost every area of public life. Many women have gained the high ranks in social or governmental sector. As a result of this women no longer depend economically on their husbands or families.
In addition, they do not worry about the number of children thanks to new thoughts on lifestyle. At present people no more see a family of very many children, six or more. And domestic chores are not a burden for women because they are done by machine. Consequently women at present can promote themselves in social life much more easily.
