Double burden consequence: a study on the effect of motherhood on the discrimination among factory workers in terms of their promotion

Abstract

Urban poor population continues to grow because of the migration of the people from rural areas. In fact, according to Action Aid (2012), it is estimated that by 2030, 60% of the population of the world will live in urban areas. They choose to settle in urban places believing that their life will be better there. Unfortunately, upon migrating in urban places they still experience poverty and filthy living conditions. In the Philippines, urban poverty is also an issue because of their increasing population. People from rural areas go to Metro Manila believing that the city has a lot to offer to them. Urban poor settlements can be seen almost anywhere and this is one of the impairing issues the country is facing nowadays. [Introduction]
