The Road Winds Uphill All the Way: Gender, Work, and Family in the United States and Japan
The authors take a fresh look at the widespread belief that U.S. gender equity is light years ahead of Japan's. In a time of societal transition, women and men around the globe struggle to combine careers and family in new ways. However, conventional work and family structures and power imbalances between women and men often reinforce traditional gender stereotypes in both home and office. In an effort to understand the roots of gender inequality…
Husbands, Wives, and Housework: Graduates of Stanford and Tokyo Universities
Barbara Bergmann argues that economic gender equity requires equity not only in paid employment, but also in household work. We examine the household task arrangements of a sample of married 1981 graduates of Stanford and Tokyo (Todai) Universities, about a decade after their graduation. No less than 43 percent of Stanford graduates shared household tasks about equally with their spouse, a much higher sharing rate than for the whole U.S. populati…

Do young women trade jobs for marriage? A skeptical view
This paper takes a skeptical view of the theory that the slight decline in young women's labor-force participation from 1985 to 1990 can be explained by the fact that there are fewer women now in their early twenties than there are men in their late twenties so that women currently have more bargaining power in the marriage market than men do.The paper argues that the assumption behind this theory, that for women marriage and employment are subst…
Child care centers as workplaces
This paper deals with a subject of central interest for feminist economics: the working conditions of employees in a caregiving occupation that is low paid, female dominated and in an industry crucial for parents in the labor market. The qualitative research employed here is also of interest to feminist economics, which seeks to use a broader range of methodologies than is typically found in economics journals.The paper examines the labor market …
Financing Child Care Through Local Taxes: One City's Bold Attempt
The Fremont, California, City Council placed a measure on the June 1989 ballot asking residents whether a tax should be levied to pay for child-care services. It was the nation's first city election ever held on the issue, and it brought the policy debate on child care into the political arena. Reporting on interviews with local policymakers and the results of an exit poll conducted on election day, this article concludes that the reasons the mea…
Feminism, Children, and the New Families
Feminism, as a social movement, began by emphasizing the interests of women. This book moves beyond that initial agenda by also considering the interests of children and men. As women's roles expand, it becomes evident that the goals of women are harmonious with the interests of children, and seldom in conflict with those of men. The loosening of traditional family roles and the emerging diversity in family forms provide flexibility not only for …

The Economics of Sex Differentials
Strategies Used by Working and Nonworking Wives to Reduce Time Pressures
There appear to be limited differences between employed and nonemployed wives in their use of strategies to relieve time pressures. Holding income and life-cycle stage constant, neither wives' employment nor recent entry into the labor force are significant determinants of the purchase or ownership of labor-saving durables, such as microwave ovens and dishwashers. Although working wives prepare fewer meals, if income or life cycle is held constan…
Why Do Women Teach and Men Manage? A Report on Research on Schools
Sex Discrimination in the Labour Market
Working Wives and Major Family Expenditures
This study examines working-wife (WW) and nonworking-wife (NWW) family purchases of, and amount spent for, time-saving durables, other durables, hobby and recreation items, vacations, and college education. Size of total family income and whether the family moved recently to a different house in which they had some equity were important variables in the purchase decisions. Wife's labor force behavior, however, was not important in the purchase de…
