Double Burden and Women’s Well-Being Issues: Implications for Social Relations from the Perspective of Hannah Arendt’s Vita Activa

<div>This study explores the double burden of women through the lens of Hannah Arendt’s vita activa, <span style="font-size: 1rem;">encompassing its three main dimensions: labor, work, and action. The analysis highlights how women face </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">structural challenges in balancing domestic and public roles due to gender biases and patriarchal norms </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">that place them in a subordinate position. This double burden not only creates physical and mental strain </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">but also negatively impacts women’s overall well-being in economic, health, and social aspects. The labor </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">dimension reflects repetitive and undervalued domestic work, reinforcing women's subordination within </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">the family and community spheres. In the work dimension, women encounter wage discrimination, limited </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">access to leadership positions, and exclusion from more prestigious job sectors, directly affecting their </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">economic well-being. Within the action dimension, social barriers restrict women's participation in the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">public sphere and decision-making processes, reducing their opportunities to influence policies that could </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">enhance well-being and gender equality. The lack of policies supporting the redistribution of domestic roles </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">further exacerbates gender inequality and hinders women's empowerment. This study underscores the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">need for structural changes in social and economic policies to foster more inclusive and equitablewell-being for women. The philosophical-hermeneutic approach employed in this research provides a deeper </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">understanding of the social construction of gender and the urgency for more progressive and </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">transformative policy solutions</span></div>
