They may have had more than a sneaking suspicion that it was the case, but now working mothers have the data to back it up: they are indeed more stressed than other people – 18% more, in fact.
And that figure rises to 40% for those with two children, according to a major study that analysed 11 key indicators of chronic stress levels.
Some feminists might claim that the problem is not with work itself but with the inflexibility of a 9 to 5 work schedule, but the researchers ruled out that possibility:
“Flexible work practices are meant to enable employees to achieve a more satisfactory work-life balance, which should reduce work-family conflict,” Benzeval said. “The use of such reduced-hours flexible work arrangements appeared to moderate some of the association of family and work stressors. But there was little evidence that flexplace or flextime working arrangements were associated with lower chronic stress responses.”
The only thing that can reduce the stress is to work less or not work at all.

Women can depend on their husbands for these expenses, and if they don’t have husbands, they can depend on their fathers, brothers, uncles, or other male relatives. This is the holistic support system Islamic law institutes for the benefit of women. Which is not to say that women don’t have any responsibilities. They most certainly do. But financial responsibility is not one of them. The non-Muslim world has yet to recognize this wisdom of Islam.
