    Coeducación en la familia: Una cuestión pendiente para la mejora de la calidad de vida de las mujeres
    (2014-01-01) Ceballos, Esperanza
    The daily life of families reveals a traditional use of time according to gender. Not only the women and the girls are still carrying on with a greater load of family-work, coping more than men with the heavier and more monotonous tasks, and with the caring of the dependent members. Furthermore, mothers are enjoying of less time for leisure; besides this leisure has got a worse quality because is often "contaminated", especially when both progenitors are employed. Finally, working mothers are likely to suffer consequences in their physical and mental health, experiencing more stress and dissatisfaction with their couples. This sexist socialization in the family points out to coeducation standards. School programs must be directed to objectives of coeducation much more ambitious, not only avoiding sexism, but compensating the negative influences still remaining in our patriarchal society.
