Gender and the Subjective Well-Being of Older Widows and Widowers
Previous research on older adults who are widowed often focuses on the immediate subjective impacts of spousal loss, and how gender might influence this. Our interest here is on the factors that influence subjective well-being after a period of at least two years’ post-bereavement, and how this might differ for men and women. We draw on theoretical considerations from previous research on gender and on widowhood and use two different measures—lif…

The Family as a Site for Gendered Ethnic Identity Work Among Asian Indian Immigrants
Research on immigrants often points to the family as a source of support and a location for oppression. Using in-depth interviews with 38 first-generation immigrant Indians, this study adds to this literature by exploring families as sites of identity work where first-generation immigrants manage their gendered ethnic identities. Relocation into a new culture makes ethnic identity salient for the migrants, and they perform identity work to mainta…

Feminism and Gerontology
Patriarchal Struggles and State Practices
Feminist scholars challenge ahistorical conceptions of the patriarchal state and emphasize the importance of power struggles across class, race, and gender lines in transforming state gender policies. They also unintentionally downplay the ideological power struggles among race- and class-homogeneous patriarchal institutions, especially in relatively monolithic political contexts with little or no independent feminist movement. Our historical (19…

A socialist-feminist approach to aging
Bringing in diversity
Working 'Over-Time
This article examines the reasons working-class retirees give for their continued labor activity and discusses these in relation to the present socioeconomic situation. Through the use of primary qualitative data supplemented by others' empirical work, it is argued that working-class retirees engage in labor because they lack the economic resources to survive, desire to maintain their previous status, and experience threats to the status of their…
Gender Inequality and the Division of Household Labor in the United States and Sweden
In this paper, we offer a socialist-feminist framework for exploring the persistence of gender inequality in the disvision of household labor. The inconsistent results generated by the relative resources, gender-role ideology, and time-availability hypotheses speak to the need to examine the structural bases for power relations based on gender. Emphasizing the relative autonomy and interrelations of capitalism and patriarchy, socialist-feminism p…
Laissez-Faire Strategies and the Crisis of the Welfare State
The issue of laissez-faire solutions to the crisis of the welfare state in relation to the status of the elderly has not been addressed in the aging literature. Laissez-faire policies advocate a decrease in, and eventual elimination of, state intervention, including welfare spending, in the marketplace. As services for the aged constitute a major social outlay, laissez-faire strategies often attempt to reduce the amount of public monies the elder…

The Status of Rural Elderly in Southern Italy
Discussions of the position of the elderly have typically been cast in terms of demographic considerations and/or level of industrialisation. In contradistinction to this approach we employ a political economic perspective which reveals the contradictions present in the situation of aged small farmers in southern Italy. Using a dialectic approach, it is argued that the function performed by the small farm sector, that of keeper of the surplus lab…
