Meanwhile employment put women at a disadvantagE.In pre—industrial times。men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village Community Now it became customary(惯例的)for the husband to go out to paid employl+1tent,
leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wifE.Tax and benefit regulations
