abstract: 'Family life has changed significantly in recent decades for both women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and men. Fertility rates have dropped, numbers divorcing have increased,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the proportion of children born outside marriage has grown. At the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
same time, we have seen significant changes in state forms and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
institutions, with marketization becoming embedded in centrally planned
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economies as well as welfare states. Women increasingly participate in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour markets and higher education, as expectations of equal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunity have expanded. Despite obvious improvements in female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and educational attainment, however, gender inequalities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persist, not least in law, policy, labour markets, and family roles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Women continue to provide the bulk of informal multigenerational care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work and family policies vary across the globe, yet policy analysis from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a gender perspective is scarce. This editorial considers research from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
around the world, including Europe, the former Soviet bloc, Japan, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
China, to develop an understanding of the tensions and shifts in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gendered organisation of family lives. Changes and continuities in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gendered inequalities shaping family life are examined, with a focus on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the intersection of state, labour market, and family, as they reproduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and reshape gender norms and inequalities.'
