A study was conducted to determine the gender role differentiation among computer shop owners in selected areas of Cavite, namely: Alfonso, Dasmarifias City, Mendez, Silang, Tagaytay City, Tanza and Trece Martires City, Cavite from November 2014 to February 2015. A total of 150 computer shop owners served as the participants of the study. Simple random sampling without replacement was used in identifying the areas included in the study. Descriptive statistics such as frequency count, range, mean, percentage, rank, standard deviation and 24-hour activity profile were used to describe the participant's profile, business characteristics and in determining the gender role differentiation among computer shop owners. T-test was used to determine the significant difference in the performance of male and female computer shop owners in terms of profit. The male computer shop owners were younger than their female counterparts. Majority of both male and female participants were married, college graduates, had nuclear type of family, and with a bigger household size of 6 members. The female participants had the major responsibilities in all the reproductive activities like child care, preparing foods, and ironing clothes while the male participants dominated in house repair, water collection, and doing errands.
On the other hand, the male participants dominated the female in all productive activities, namely: printing, scanning, CD burning and photocopying; opening computer units; and typing job while the female participants had the major responsibilities in record keeping and accounting and hiring labor. Moreover, the male participants had more access and control over business-based resources including cash, computer units, and labor while female participants had more access and control over almost all of the home-based resources, namely: water dispenser, air conditioner, electric fan, and flat iron. Both mothers and fathers had equal access on benefits like income while fathers had more access on computer shop credit. Also, the fathers had the control over income and computer shop credit. The average annual income or profit of male computer shop owners amounting to P289,935 was higher than the female counterpart with only P116,368 net profit. The problems encountered by the participants in performing their roles were lack of time, lack of money, difficulty in dealing with customers, lack of knowledge, and lack of awareness on the occurrence and existence of community activities.
