Why Women Work

In her Psychology Today article (September 2012), "The Real Reasons Women Work," Sarah Damaske observes...

"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."
