Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equality between husbands and wives is recognized - in theory - as being beneficial to the well-being of a family. However, empirical research over the past two decades indicates that the advantage is `his' rather than `hers': the vast majority of married women still bears a disproportionate responsibility for work related to relationships, home and children. This book examines why, while women's roles have expanded at an astonishing rate, the critical need for a more egalitarian style of relating has not been met. The author maintains that motivation to seek change stems from people perceiving inequality as unfair, and that this perception can be impeded by gender differences in sense of entitlement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that most parents are employed, how work affects the lives and well-being of parents and their children remains relatively unexplored. A recent study of 500 dual-career families in 8 communities across the US provides a holistic view of the complexities of work and family life experienced by parents and their children. Drawing on the study, this book explores how dual-earner families cope with the stresses and demands of balancing work and family life, whether the time parents spend working is negatively affecting their children, how mothers feel managing both work and household responsibilities, and what role fathers are taking in family life. In answering these questions the authors argue for a new balance between work and family life. The book with its rich data, findings, and commentary from an interdisciplinary group of scholars provides a valuable resource for academics, policy makers, and working parents

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-career marriage, in which wife and husband each pursue a professional career, offers a window into the changing landscape of gender roles and relations. In the span of a single generation, the family in which both parents work outside the home has gone from being the exception to being the rule. This book examines the multi-layered implications this impressive, rapid change holds for the fabric of family and marital life and for the course of men's and women's work lives. Intensive interviews with dual-career wives and husbands provide rich information about four major issues: * In what ways and for whom do dual-career marriages replicate the traditional gender arrangements of one-career marriages, and in what ways do dual-career marriages represent a revolution in gender roles? * How do the two careers of spouses develop side by side, and in what ways do dual-career spouses help or hinder each other's careers? * How do work and family combine in dual-career marriages? * How are relationships between spouses and between parents and children affected by dual careers? This book presents a subtle, textured portrait of contemporary dual-career marriage -- examining the complicated interplay of expectations, behaviors, and emotions within and between dual-career spouses. The author observes that the centrality of family or work to each spouse's sense of self powerfully affects how the couple negotiates the challenges posed by dual-career marriage, including feelings of competition between spouses, questions of geographic moves, and division of domestic tasks. The study illuminates many issues of clinical relevance, such as the common hazard of dual-career spouses having little time for marital intimacy once the rigorous demands of careers and children are met, and the complicated intrapersonal as well as interpersonal tensions generated by gender roles in transition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dual-career family, in which both husband and wife pursue careers and yet seek to maintain a family life, is an emergent family phenomenon that has recently become of interest to researchers in the area of family patterns. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role structure chosen by these couples. Individual role competence was the central concern of the research. Of special concern was the relative influence of self and spousal role competence in identified marital roles on the respondents' perception of satisfaction with the marriage. The investigation was done by replicating a previous study done by F. Ivan Nye (1970). In addition, additional variables were added in an extended analysis to go beyond the replication data. Social exchange theory was used as a conceptual frame work for the study. This framework allowed the researcher to look at the costs and rewards associated with competent or incompetent role enactment within the social context in which the individuals performed. It proposes that competent role enactment is rewarding and that individuals who are perceived as competent or who perceive themselves as compe tent marital role enactors will be likely to be satisfied with their marriages. A sample of forty-four dual-career couples was obtained from urban Alberta areas. All couples were actively com mitted to demanding careers and were also involved in family life, presently raising at least one child under sixteen. Data was collected as part of a study of problem solving behavior of dual-career couples. The role analysis included role responsibility, importance of and satisfaction with role enactment, as well as self and spousal role compe tence. A global measure of marital satisfaction was included. Multiple regression was the statistical technique used in the analysis. First, a direct replication of Nye's study was run, using only spousal competence in specified marital roles as indicators of personal marital satisfaction. Second, an extended analysis was done, adding variables that the researcher felt would better describe the dual-career role pattern. Also, in this second analysis, both self and spousal role competencies were considered as predictors of marital satisfaction. Generally, the dual-career couples indicated much more of their marital satisfaction to be a result of role compe tence than did Nye's random sample of spouses. A major finding of the analyses was also that competence in the therapeutic role was the major predictor of marital satis faction for both men and women in dual-career marriages. This supported Nye's earlier findings, but the influence was much stronger in the dual-career marriages investigated. A perception of general role competence did not appear to be as good a predictor of marital satisfaction for these individuals as did role specific competencies.

Book excerpt: Statistics indicate that the number of dual-career couples, and thus dual-career women, has continued to increase (Holahan & Gilbert, 1979a; Jump, 1986; Maples, 1981; Sekaran, 1983). Very little is known, however, about how these women make their career-related decisions (Morgan & Hock, 1984). The major purpose of the present study was to discover how perceived career salience, perceived salience of the maternal and marital roles, perceived spousal support, and gender-role attitudes discriminated between career participation and termination among women in dual-career families. In addition, this study also investigated the discriminating power of childcare satisfaction, employer concern, respondent's income, and spouse's income. The sample for this study consisted of 74 women who were, or had been, participating in a career. Forty-one of these women were classified as career participators, and 33 women were classified as career terminators. Data for the present study were collected through a questionnaire format, and were ultimately analyzed through the use of discriminant function analysis. The results of the discriminant analysis revealed that childcare satisfaction, spouse's income, the occupational role commitment component of perceived career salience, the family component of gender-role attitudes, and the marital role commitment component of perceived marital role salience, discriminated between career participation and termination for the group of women in this study. Discriminant analysis further revealed that these variables contributed to career participation and termination in the order in which they are listed above. The findings of the present study were interpreted on the basis of a symbolic interaction framework.
