A review of the literature linking men's occupational activities to their performance of marital and parental roles shows a number of intriguing relationships. The usual dichotomization of occupational and family role demands is questioned in the discussion which focuses on the effect of occupational characteristics on the male's role performance in the family. The man's participation in the family initially appears to depend upon his holding some sort of job.

A GREAT deal has been written on the differentiation of work from family roles in modern industrial societies.
