Who Cohabits in 2001: The Significance of Age, Gender, Religion and Ethnicity
In this article we report on the growth in rates of cohabiting as opposed to marriage occurring in Australia over the last decade. We examine the relationship between cohabiting and the key demographic and social factors of age, gender, religion and ethnicity. The main data sources are the findings of the 1996 and 2001 Censuses. It is argued that the spectacular growth in cohabiting in Western countries generally is linked to technological develo…
Who gets the best deal from marriage: Women or Men
Feminists of various kinds - structural, radical, critical, materialist - have repeatedly asserted that marriage benefits men more than women and usually at women's expense. There is now a considerable body of empirical evidence that supports the major thrust of their claims. However, there are feminists adopting a post-structuralist perspective who argue that many accounts of men's dominance are overly deterministic. The argument goes that there…
A Man's Town: Inequality between Women and Men in Rural Australia
Women's life and leisure in an Australian rural community
In this paper it is shown that men living in an Australian rural community use their superior power to exclude women from much of their work and leisure activity. The activities examined include organized sport, drinking, friendship and service club activity. Women are expected to use their domestic skills both privately and publicly to facilitate men's pursuit of glory and community status and to applaud their achievements. The study confirms th…

It is shown that support for organized religion has declined dramatically during the 13 years the study has been in progress. Churches and church organizations are among the least important focal points of community and personal iden…
