I am currently working on how gendered nature of Ghanaian institutions of work and family, together with the traditional gender division of labour, gender ideologies and gender accountability in Ghana produces gendered devotions to work and family. The nature of this gender division of labour deepens men’s commitment to paid work and women’s commitment to the family although the political economy of Ghana does not make it possible for Ghanaian women to become stay-at-home wives. This makes Ghanaian professionals women experience the double burden of combining work and family roles and so does not create equal platform for women in competing with their male counterparts at work. This will further enhance gender inequality existing in the Ghanaian families.
