Inequalities in Marriage
Women and men typically experience different rights and responsibilities in marriage, in spite of widespread beliefs in marital equality. These differences led sociologist Jesse Bernard (1972) to coin the phrase “his and her marriages.” Gender‐based patterns of marital inequality have existed historically in the US and other western nations, though they have declined somewhat in recent decades, and they persist in other parts of the globe, as wel…
Marriages and Families: Making Choices throughout the Life Cycle
The Family Life Cycle and Spouses' Time in Housework
Previous research has shown the changing degree to which spouses are involved in work and family roles over the course of married life. Drawing on those major life-cycle trends, this study tests hypotheses that link variation in husbands' and wives' participation in housework to stages of the family life cycle. We expected that women would spend less time in housework before and after childbearing stages, while their husbands would spend more tim…
Differential effects of industrial and worker resources on women's wages
Expected Versus Actual Work Roles of Women
This paper examines the impact of women's long-range work plans for mid life on actual work behavior at that age for a cohort of women who were 35 in 1980. We hypothesized that work plans would significantly affect actual behavior at mid life, and moreover, would modify the effects of many variables typically associated with women's employment. Our findings indicate plans did influence subsequent behavior, largely reflecting the realization of pl…
World War II and Its Effect on the Sex Differential in Arrests: An Empirical Test of the Sex-Role Equality and Crime Proposition
A common explanation for the decrease in the sex differential in arrests during World War II attributes it to a change in female sex-role behavior. Because of the wartime equalization of sex roles, particularly of expanding occupational roles of women, female arrest rates began to approach male rates. Two alternative explanations appear equally plausible: (1) changes in the sex-age structure of the population at risk and (2) changes in official r…
