Q.13 “There are certain age old stereotypes about the roles of different members in family. Earlier, only the male members went out of the house to earn money. The women stayed back at home to take care of the house and children. However, with time, this has changed, especially in the cities. With growing education among women, more women have started working outside home. In their families, we often see the men doing a large share of the household work. These changes in the roles of members are due to the changing conditions. This does not mean that families in which women work outside are better or worse than families in which women do not work outside. It is important to understand that whatever the differences, the basic purpose of all the families is the same- to take care of the needs of the members and to impart values to them.”

Answer the following questions in context with the above paragraph.

i) What is the basic purpose of all families? (1)

ii) Explain how working women can contribute in family? (2)

iii) Female education leads to development of society. Explain on the basis of above passage.
