The World Bank has recently analyzed the time spent by men and women in 19 countries, respectively from 7 regions.
Among them were Albania, the United States, South Africa, Turkey, etc. In the end, it was concluded that Albanian women spend 25 years of their productive life raising children and doing unpaid work in the family.
"When you think about 25 years cold, it seems a very big number. 25 years, how long will I live? So I am educated until I am 22 years old, I will finish university, then I will do a master's degree, then I will gain work experience. So at the age of 26-27 I am in the labor market and if I add 25 years to that, I finish the cycle of 50-55 years when we are efficient to work.
The family is an institution. The problem lies in the fact that an equal contribution must be made between women and men. In Albania, if we talk about 25 years for women, for men, if they spend 10 years, it would be too much, I think. We know that they leave the family in the morning, come back late, don't take care of the children, don't worry about what food they have to buy and what they have to cook, so they have the things removed that the wife of the house will do.
The role of women in Albania is still the role that we try to orient towards motherhood and towards good family women when they are young, who should contribute to the family. This is certainly changing, if we talk about Tirana today, girls and women have ambitions, they have more opportunities for education. In the most remote areas, these girls have fewer opportunities to get an education. Today, divorces have also increased in rural areas. Kmei And women who are heads of families, their role is even greater due to divorce or emigration.
Leaving these women out of the labor market, and turning them into unpaid roles in the family, typically the woman washes, the woman educates, she thinks about the family's problems, the woman brings up the conversations when there are conflicts, the woman resolves them. Those who grow up in these families will act like this. the girl will copy the same behavior and the boy will ask his partner to behave like a mother", said Suela Kçibellonj - Women's Rights Activist./Tch
