Coursework Requirement:
An individual written assignment for one of the two following questions:

In view of the above statement critically evaluate the relationship between work and non- work, using relevant evidence to support your answer.

Question 2

inequalities i.e. that women are disadvantaged compared to men in terms of income and access to supervisory positions”.
