Feminization of Labor

[ayessa]

One of the things I have found out in my researches in our province of Bohol is that more and more women are working taking over the social role of men, who are the breadwinners at home.  Numbers are growing in towns plagued by endemic poverty and stagnated development.  Most of them want  to pursue greener pastures in Manila as domestic helpers and factory workers.  The educated youth and new graduates do not also tend to settle in the province but might as well, look for better opportunities in the neighboring province of Cebu and anywhere else in the world.

The Bol-anon diaspora is growing. Is this gender related? We cannot draw conclusion to that.  But it is alarming to know what some people told me that there are houses in some towns which are literally abandoned. Does this signal hopelessness?

Women's economic role in Bol-anon homes have been revolutionary. The mother instincts is eminent in the Boholana.  A mother cannot withstand the ordeal seeing her children suffering from hunger.

It is also notable that there are more male tambays than female.  Just an observation though but this might as well puts a question on everyone of us.

Kon ang mga lalake mag tambay ang tawag bugoy apan kon babae mag lagoy lagoy sa kalsada ang tawag p**t. Mao kini ang gender equality.

seriously, dili tanan ingon niana nga ang babae sa balay lang, pero kadtong mga babae nga trabaho siempre naman dili to kanunay sa balay. Pero ang full time house wife malamang na sa bahay palagi.
