Abstract

Housework has always been associated with women and because its unpaid,it has not been considered by all sections of society,and its material value has not been calculated in the economic statistics of countries.In this study,family citizenship is a way of recognizing important groups such as unpaid mothers and wives.In this research,with a qualitative method.and with a Grounded Theory strategy.and purposeful Sampling and by conducting in-depth interviews with 25women, 20to 60 years old in Qom,their understanding of the challenges of family citizenship should be studied.the most important issue that women face is the Masculine economic and political structures.and the reasons for this can be the lack of institutional support for housewives,institutional and individual economic challenges, and the Prevention of market relations between family members, formal male-centered economic structures, masculine political structures, Gender Discrimination in the labor Market.It seems that housewives should pay attention to raising a generation that can gradually put aside social misconceptions and beliefs, such as assigning housekeeping to women as a worthless, comfortable and easy activity, and in this context, as mothers, they can teach their children, both boys and girls, that the responsibility of maintaining common life is not solely on one person and that all family members should strive for it. In this regard, the society can also accompany housewives by doing affairs such as making programs on radio and television to show the value of housewives' activities, providing life insurance and free treatment to housewives by the government, Review the unequal pattern of gender division of labor between women and men through the mass media, legalize housekeeping as a job by the government and parliament, and reverence housekeeping based on the strengthening of religious beliefs.
