The vulnerable women suffer from the larger level of bribes than the non-poor households. With the difficult economic conditions of tradition, a number of women no longer value edification as much as they did before the transition; their pinnacle priority is mere survival. In most ethnicity, women and men have differing roles and responsibilities according to socially defined division of labour based on gender. This gender discrimination is reflected in a variety of social and economic dimensions. In terms of reproductive activities, women generally have primary responsibility for the care and feeding of children and families, as well as health care and education in addition to other informal activities. When women are overburdened, they are more likely to keep their daughters home from school to assist with own household activities, including fuel and water collection, thereby limiting opportunities for girls to move forward through education, and rising the likelihood that their families will remain in poverty.
