This article examines the distribution of decision-making power between Romanian husbands and wives. Survey research data were collected in interviews with 295 working women and housewives in Bucharest in 1976.

The authors conclude that the study of decision-making p…

When the Communist Party took power in Rumania in 1944, it inherited a poor, agrarian society. In 1950, before the advent of planning, three-fourths of Rumania's labor force was still in agriculture; only 12 percent of the labor force was in the industrial sector. Per capita income for the country as a whole was the equivalent of thirty dollars and in agriculture it was close to twenty dollars. The new regime did not have to search very far for a…

On the Long-Run Labor Supply Curve of Married Women in the USSR
Soviet women have the highest labor force participation rate in the world and are crucial to the Soviet economy. This article attempts to assess whether the Soviet leadership will be able to maintain this high rate of labor force participation over the next quarter of a century.; The general approach is to make both the case for and against the potential decline in female labor force activity. Arguments favoring a decline are that: (1) women will…
