ABSTRACT

According to a most common idea, the situation of women and women labour force in the working life has been subjected to more disparities compared to men and men labour force. There are various arguments in the literature to explain the reasons of those disadvantageous situations. Some argue that this is because of the patriarchal structure in the society while some other argue that this is because of the capitalistic production relations in the economy. The aim of this paper is to bring into debate that those disadvantageous situations have been determined by the ruling ideology of the society. This paper starts with the definition of the concept “reserved army force of labour” given by Marx and then focuses on the arguments of the reasons of disparities to which women are subjected as a result of gender depended inewquality of labour force. The paper ends with the argue that it is the ruling ideology which determines whether women may join to the labour force or not, by giving the examples of Rosie the Riveter and the Women Ideology in Nazi Germany
