EXAMINING HOUSEHOLD, OCCUPATION, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITIES OF WOMEN AND MEN IN BARANGAY TAMBOBONG, BAGUIO DISTRICT, DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES

Mariz V. Burdeos

Abstract


The adaptive capacity of men and women in rural areas is very challenging and associated with family conflicts, and household responsibilities are part of this circle. Socioeconomic change has left men and women with patriarchal ideology, and unemployment prevents both sexes from fulfilling roles as head of household or breadwinner; this study utilized qualitative design and a grounded theory approach which will be coming from the field results. Purposeful sampling or purposive sampling was used in this study to provide in-depth and detailed information representing men and women in Purok Tuburan and Kawayan, Barangay Tambobong, Baguio District, Davao City. Findings revealed six constructs from the exploration of household, occupation, and community responsibilities of women and men are the following (1) low income, (2) marital agreement, (3) gender stereotype, (4) access and control, (5) invitational appearance, and (6) community involvement. Thus, the results show those constructs generate the unequal relationship between men and women in the locale.
