Lin said the situation is improving as jobs in the insurance business and sales, which generally pay more, are gradually opening up to women.
Office work also suits women who are returning to work and are unable to undertake physically demanding work because of health problems.
Senior lecturer Chang Ya-hui（張雅惠）, general manager of Momosun Home Care（桃媽媽家事管理）, agrees with Lotus Lin's analysis in most cases. However, Chang said that many married women somehow fail to disassociate family life from vocational duties, and this becomes a major stumbling block to finding a rewarding career.
Chang suggested that women seeking employment must first overcome this mental barrier in order to open up more career opportunities. She said: "It's time to leave your housewife mentality behind and live up to the challenges in the job market if you are serious about taking a descent job to support your family."
