Why Women Work
September 24, 2012
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
-Sir John Lubbock

"Even though women emphasize monetary needs, money is not the driving force behind their workforce decisions. Yes, money plays an important role, and women want to find work that pays what they consider a fair wage for their efforts. But I found that they also stay employed when they find work interesting, when it provides a sense of accomplishment, when it allows a good job-family balance, when it garners recognition and respect, when it includes the possibility for advancement, and when it can improve their family's social position."

I'm not sure why this question is worthy of research unless Psychology Today also plans to study why men work (or don't work). Of course it varies from woman to woman (person to person) and the economy plays a huge part in it.
I continually hear about "work" as if it is a necessary evil. For some it is, for others it is as natural as keeping house, cooking food, or bathing a child ---- you do it because it's necessary and valued on many levels. Personally I've never given thought as to why i work, only what I do for work.
It's bad enough that women earn under 80% of what men earn for the same work. Let's not relegate women to a separate group and imply that work is a choice for them.
