Rural Women: Working Toward Recognition
Land, Labour, and the Sex Composition of the Agricultural Labour Force: An International Comparison
Mobilizing Women for Rural Employment in South Asia: Issues of Class, Caste, and Patronage
Women in Agriculture: Counting the Labor Force in Developing Countries
The undercounting of women in the labor force by censuses and labor force surveys has attracted considerable comment. This paper examines conceptual problems in the farm labor force (self-employed wage laborers and unpaid family workers) obtained from population censuses and surveys from estimates prepared by the International Labour Office (ILO) and from censuses of farm holdings coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the …
Professional Work and Marriage: An East-West Comparison
When Husbands File for Divorce
One immediate consequence of the adoption of the 1970 no-fault divorce law in California was a significant increase in the percentage of husbands who filed for divorce. This paper explores the effects of a change in the law on the motivations of husbands who file for divorce. A resource model and a normative model are tested on the divorce records of couples receiving final decrees in San Francisco and Los Angeles counties in 1968 and 1972. In sp…

Late marriage and non-marriage as demographic responses: Are they similar
Late marriage and non-marriage are generally treated as similar demographic responses because they are highly correlated in cross-national comparisons. Theoretical considerations of social, economic, and demographic factors promoting delayed marriage on a national level also suggest that the same factors should cause high proportions of men and women to remain unmarried. An analysis of two deviant cases in which the proportions remaining unmarrie…
Marriage Reduction and Fertility
Taking Chances: Abortion and the Decision not to Contracept
Measuring Equality Between the Sexes
Measures of the status of women and their potential for equality with men may be derived from women's position in five major spheres of activity — sexual relationships, reproduction, homemaking and child‐care, economic production, and political decision making— and from the degree of functional independence among these spheres of activity. Some commonly used statistical indicators of the status of women in the United States from 1900 through the …

Explaining cross-cultural variations in age at marriage and proportions never marrying
According to censuses taken around 1960, the distinction between the 'European' pattern of late marriage and high proportions never married and the 'traditional' pattern of early and universal marriage remains generally valid for female populations in spite of trends toward convergence in the past few decades. Among male populations, however, the regional overlap is great. Variations in the timing and quantity of nuptiality in 57 countries in Eur…
