Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Increasingly, women are partaking in the workforce, such that traditional roles of male breadwinner and female homemaker are disappearing. However, in a patriarchal system, such as that in Nigeria, there is a strong culture of male dominance and women being subjugated. Men are the decision makers, and women must seek permission in all areas of life. Domestic care and duties are the sole responsibility of women. To achieve better financial benefits, women also undertake daily paid work. Thus, women struggle to achieve a good work-life balance and avoid role overload. In Nigeria, the patriarchal system forms a barrier to achieving this balance.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
