Some are influencers and make money from whatever platforms they are on. Some are simply struggling and don't buy/do anything extra. Some contribute through growing food that isn't providing income but saves money through reducing what the family has to spend. And some of the men work extra jobs because they don't do anything at home so picking up a side job isn't that big of a burden (for them).
