Job Related Issues: My Wife Earns More

Job Related Issues: My Wife Earns More

Money is a very emotive issue and that’s why the number one dreaded job interview question is ‘how much do you expect to earn? Bring the issue of money in marriage and you will get fireworks.

Whereas many men are comfortable with other women in office earning more than them, many cannot stomach their partners earning even a shilling more than they do. Is it a curse? I rarely heard a man says very proudly about his wife that she is very efficient and earns more than he does.

I have noticed that some men have a problem with their wives making more money than they do.
There is an overwhelming belief in our society that the man is the primary breadwinner and the woman the homemaker irrespective of all the high talks about the gender equality.

Like every coin has two sides, wife’s earnings also do the same. World is changing so is the ego of the man.
Some men are taking it positively and some are still in that primitive age and finding it difficult to get adjusted with the notion of wife earning more than him. They are forgetting that every relationship has to be based on love and trust and not on Money (at least in my thinking).

Location: Sudan (the) – Nairobi, SD

The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) seeks a Program Manager (PM) for the “Three Areas” (Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile, and Abyei), based in Khartoum, Sudan but with significant time spent in the Three Areas. The PM will work closely with other program staff to support the work of NDI’s programs in Sudan; deepen the impact of its current programs and contribute to all future activities.
The Three Areas are complex and politically sensitive; as a consequence NDI has developed a distinct program.

The position is available immediately.

Background
The Three Areas consists of the Blue Nile, Southern Kordofan and Abyei Area. They are distinguished by their history at the front lines in the war between the Southern Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Government of Sudan (GoS), their geographic location on the fault line between North and South and the distinct political settlements provided for them by the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).

Addressing the needs and grievances of the citizens of the Three Areas is widely considered to be central to the peace and stability of Sudan and critical to any successful democratic transformation.

NDI’s presence in the Three Areas

NDI currently provides technical assistance and funding to three civic and voter education coalitions, in Southern Kordofan, Abyei and the Blue Nile. To do this the Institute employs six program staff and maintains three offices which cover 5 programming locations; Agok (Abyei) Kadugli, Kauda (Southern Kordofan) Damazine and Kurmuk (Blue Nile).

Program Activities

The Institute supports partners to conduct civic engagement activities related to these processes.
