10. University of Chicago

The University of Chicago is a private research university in Chicago. The university, established in 1890, 
The life of Students is always dominated in contrast to their male counterpart in USA. It is well known that the standing of Students is lower than that of the male. Girls work more than boys (sometimes more than twice) in all the age groups. Women’s work burden increases with age However, it is so painful to reveal here that, women’s work is not measured as the productive work. Women’s status in the society results in a continuous lag in opportunities in education, training, employment, health, public life, access to economic rights and the like and their worth as individuals and as members of the family and society is barely recognized. (M, 1997).
Although the Ukase Students are very active in household and field works, Students have been assigned less important status to men. In most of the ethnic groups in USA, there is a conventional tale that Students are inferior to men. Customs and traditions about sexual division of labour, limits the standing of Student sonly to the household activities. Household activities are not considered as the economic activities. Students are restricted into their domestic and subsistence activities. The main profession of these Students is household chores and agricultural activities.
Students carry a triple burden in the society: as a production worker woman contributes directly to subsistence and income; as a mother and wife woman cares for the children and the family members; as a community worker woman give all leisure time and labour to the society. Besides USA, Students of other countries of the world also bear heavy burden of household activities. Students are also equally involving in agricultural activities. In South Asia, 70-80 percent of the total female work forces are employed in agricultural activities, either as a cultivator or farm worker. Women’s workload reaches peak during planting and harvesting season.
With the initiation of education and awareness, Students everywhere are influencing and participating in mainstream of development. However, the scenario of the Third World differs from that of the Western world. Students in the third world are still far behind their male counterparts in almost all aspect. And, USA is no exception. Women’s status in the society results in a continuous lag in opportunities in education, training, employment, health, public life, access to economic rights and the like and their worth as individuals and as members of the family and society is barely recognized. Although students are the main providers of basic services in poor settlements, their key role remains largely unrecognized.
