| Description: |
In this book, distinguished demographers consider whether recent changes in women's roles are the cause of such changes in family life as rising divorce rates and declining marriage rates, increases in out-of-wedlock childbearing, and a growing disconnection between the lives of men and children. The discussion covers over twenty countries, including the USA, the countries of western Europe, and Japan. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume focuses on the relationship between change in the family and change in the roles of women and men on contemporary industrial societies. Of central concern is whether change in gender roles has fuelled - or is merely historically coincident with - such changes in the family as rising divorce rates, increases in out-of-wedlock childbearing, declining marriage rates, and a growing disconnection between the lives of men and children. Covering more that twenty countries, including the USA, the countries of western Europe, and Japan, each essay in the volume is organized around an important theoretical or policy question; all offer new data analyses, and several offer prescriptions of how to fashion more equitable and humane family and gender systems. The second demographic transition and microeconomic theory of marital exchange are the dominant theoretical models considered; several chapters feature state-of-the-art quantitative analyses of large scale surveys. |
