Abstract

Women cook. They spend half of their life in the kitchen. Men can also cook, but they rarely do. This division of gender roles is ancient. With our words and acts, we comply and perpetuate such a tradition. But times are changing. Outlooks are changing. Women are more ready to pursue their dreams and aspirations. Participation of women in workforce has grown in all sectors of the economy. Women are slowly and steadily getting into roles which were hitherto reserved for men. Induction of women into combat roles in defence services in India is one such step. They have proved that they are no less than men in any job. Even in rural sector, women are forming Self Help Groups (SHG) to be economically independent. While it is a welcoming change, women are still tied to the domestic roles at their home. They attend to all household chores with almost no help from their male counterpart. But corona pandemic has disrupted gender roles at homes in its small way. Men are not shying away from doing things that normally women do. This research paper is a study into such a changing gender roles in households, post corona pandemic.
