\"workingwoman\"<\/a>One in four men is now without a job, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 1971 92 per cent of working-age men were in employment. \u00a0This year the figure had fallen to 76 per cent.<\/p>\n

The number of women in work has gone up by almost as much as the number of men working has shrunk.<\/p>\n

Only 53 per cent of women were in paid employment in 1971 compared with 67 per cent.<\/p>\n

In August, the\u00a0Institute for Public Policy Research published its ‘Who’s Breadwinning?’\u00a0<\/em>study<\/strong><\/a> reporting that 2.2 million women are now the main breadwinner for their households – a rise of 80 per cent in 15 years.<\/p>\n

The number of mothers living with a partner who are the principle household earner has risen from 18 per cent to 31 per cent. \u00a0The employment rate of lone mothers has risen form 43 per cent to 58 per cent. \u00a0The report called for universal child-care provision.<\/p>\n

Feminists are delighted by all this, except by the news that\u00a0more men work in high-status professions earning bigger salaries than women.<\/p>\n

Daisy Sands, of women\u2019s rights group the Fawcett Society, said: \u201cWhile highlighting the strides women have made over the last 40 years, this (ONS) report serves as a timely reminder of how far we have to go before we have a women-friendly labour market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the implications for our society of men losing their God-given role as providers of their families as women scurry around trying to balance home and work while\u00a0children are left in day-care have not been addressed by anyone.<\/p>\n
