When a woman chooses to work in the workplace instead of becoming a full-time housewife, she may face a variety of prejudices and challenges: 1. **Gender stereotypes**: There are still some stereotypes about gender roles in the workplace, such as the belief that women are more suitable for taking care of the family and men are more suitable for the workplace. For this reason, women may need to prove their abilities more in the workplace. 2. **Work-family balance pressure**: Women may be questioned whether they can balance between family responsibilities and work. This prejudice may make some people think that women are not as capable as men to devote themselves to their careers. 3. **Limited career development opportunities**: In some company cultures, women may be considered unsuitable for high-intensity or high-responsibility positions due to family responsibilities, which may lead to their limited promotion and development opportunities. 4. **Wage gap**: Despite some improvements, there is still a gender pay gap in many places, and women may receive lower pay than men in the same position. 5. **Pregnancy and childcare discrimination**: Women may also face discrimination in the workplace due to pregnancy, maternity leave or childcare needs, such as missing out on promotion opportunities or being considered not committed enough to work. 6. **Social evaluation pressure**: Some social cultures may be critical of women who balance career and family, believing that their choices do not conform to traditional concepts. This may come from family, friends, or even colleagues. 7. **Limited career choices**: Some fields may be considered "male fields", which leads to more doubts and resistance for women in these fields. These prejudices and challenges may affect women's experience and development in the workplace, but with the progress of society and the improvement of gender equality awareness, more and more organizations and individuals have begun to value and support women's career development.
