Housewife; feminism; protection policy; policy contradiction.Abstract
Feminism is preoccupied with the structural inequalities of all women, particularly housewives. This essay will focus on the causes of housewives and policy protection in an effort to improve the status of gender discrimination. A substantial body of evidence and theory reveals that housewives are disadvantaged in economic, social, and the majority of other power structures, as well as in patriarchal partnerships in general. By monitoring and evaluating the development and predicament of housewives, this article will learn the history of policy protection behind housewives and the structure of marriage they live in, as well as the policy contradiction matching this history. Consequently, this paper argues that this policy contradiction is essentially an inequality in the perception of housewives' careers that develops as a result of discrimination against women. As a result, the concept of public policy design must be revised and the policy reconstructed from the standpoint of the policy support system for housewives' career development.
