Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Work-Life Balance Issues. It needs to be at least 3000 words.

There is a considerably huge difference between the roles of men and women at home and at work. Traditionally, men were regarded as the breadwinner of the family, thus, they should work hard, earn enough money, and attain the best position in the workplace, as well as in the society. Consequently, women are expected to stay at home and take care of the family. The roles of men and women in the society were divided according to social logics. There is the world of work on one hand and the world of home and family on the other. The former is usually associated with men, which is governed by market relations, calculation of profit, and accumulation. While the latter is associated with women such that this world is characterized by gift relations, affect, personal service and care. So when men entered the domestic world and women the world of market, it was a difficult adjustment for the society accepting this role shift. (Connell 2005) In the modern society, unequal opportunities for women have become one of the most debatable issues. Men’s “masculinity” is always related to organizational authority that is an integral part in the world of (paid) work. As the ladder of authority in the workplace becomes higher the more that the position demands time, energy and authority from the one taking charge.

On the other hand, one's ability to become efficient in the workplace is affected by the balancing situation between work and life - which is usually referred to the home and/or the family. In this case, men are at the same time affected by this issue such that they have at the same time their responsibilities at home - that is as a father to their children and as a husband to their wives - which they need to perform well with. (Connell 2005) Working women are affected by conflicts that results from their roles as the primary caretakers of their homes, children, and/or elderly parents that demands time from them as well as their (paid) work. (Higgins, Duxbury, and Irving 1992. Hochschild 1989. and Kelley and Voydanoff 1985. as qtd in Saltzstein, et al 2001). Moreover, at one side, husbands in dual-career households face new workplace stresses as they have assumed greater responsibility at home. (Daddy Trap 1998. Families and Work Institute 1998a. Ginsberg 1998. as qtd in Saltzstein, et al 2001).

But men's positions in the workplace are unlimited in contrast to women's under-representation in the workplace as brought about by gender inequality that perceives women as being unable to meet the demands of senior management levels because of their responsibilities in the home.
