Many social inequality studies in modern societies take an individualistic approach. They analyse men and women as individuals and neglect marriage patterns and familial relationships. This often implies that men and women are all alike, that there are no important differences within households, and that employment chances and risks within the family are based on gender-free considerations. This article draws on the empirical results of several international comparative research projects to examine the impact of changes in union formation, the division of labour in couples and rising uncertainty in male breadwinner incomes on the development of social inequality between families in modern societies. The empirical findings support the view that such inequalities have grown significantly ...
Cet article prend comme point de départ la classification des Welfare State en Europe en trois régimes qualitativement différents établie à l'origine par Titmuss (1971) et reprise plus tard par [Esping-Andersen] (1990). Il tient compte, dans l'analyse de la conciliation entre vie familiale et vie professionnelle aujourd'hui, les critiques, qui ont été formulées à l'égard de cette division particulière des Welfare en l'accusant de parti pris en matière de genre. En conséquence, la distinction entre travail payé et travail non-paye, ainsi que la distinction entre le modèle de l'homme gagne-pain et le modèle du couple à deux revenus ont été pris en compte. Le Danemark, les Pays-Bas et le Royaume-Uni ont été étudiés en tant que castypes pour les régimes Scandinave, continental et atlantique...

Work life, family life and care are all being substantially re-shaped in Australia as in other post-industrial societies. Concern about work/life balance has increased as domestic gender relations slowly change, the breadwinner/homemaker model becomes less dominant and families undertake more demanding and flexible modes of employment and care. Using data from a qualitative study of nurses and their families this paper explores how families are managing the contemporary intersection of flexible family life and flexible labour. Family values emerged as an important mediating factor in the organisation of work and care. The couples valued parental and time with children and used shift work enable family life. We argue that just as the breadwinner model is being modified in so too is the m...

We use recent time diary data for the U.S. and Australia to examine the gender gap in total work time (unpaid work plus paid work). We focus on whether the gender gap in total work time varies by couples' employment and parental status. We use two alternative measures of unpaid work, which differ in whether unpaid work includes work reported as a secondary activity. Contrasting sharply with the image painted by Hochschild (1989), when we combine all types of families, we find little gender gap in total work hours (paid plus unpaid), whether or not secondary activities are included. However, the gender gap varies dramatically by family type. When couples have preschool-age children and both men and women are employed full-time, women's total work is 4 to 5 hours more per week than men's ...

This paper explores associations between social and policy context and how parents of young children allocate time to work and family, using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Time Use Survey (TUS) 1997 and 2006. Over the period, Australia's economy was growing and unemployment was low. Political rhetoric supported 'traditional' family values, family tax policy favoured single income or 'modified male-breadwinner' households, and part time work was the most common 'family-friendly' workplace measure. Against this background, we investigate the market labour supply and intra-household time use of mothers and fathers in couple-headed households with at least one child aged 0 - 4 years (N=747 in 1997 and 626 in 2006). We identify associations between household labour suppl...

There is a subtle message in how we view domestic violence in this country, isn't there? The stereotype is that women who are victimized by their boyfriends, husbands or partners can just leave. If they stay and continue to accept the abuse, then they are complicit in their victimization. In other words, women ask for it by staying. But we know that women stay for many reasons and leaving is not that easy. Women may stay because they're economically dependent or afraid for their children's future. Women may stay because they're afraid they'll lose custody of their kids or that the violence will escalate if they leave. For women in a violent relationship, leaving can mean death. Indeed, based on the statistics cited above, that is a very real fear. They may stay because they're an immigr...

I could see his eyes light up. He started to smile and you couldn't wipe the smile of his face," said [Olwyn Walter], who has also been looking after [Hoang Son Pham] at her home in Halifax."He gave me a big high five. "His primary concern is for the family of the deceased people," [Balfour Der] said, after talking to Daniel Tschetter in a holding cell at Calgary Courts Centre. "He couldn't even put into words the grief he is feeling about that. "He is also concerned about his own family. He's the sole breadwinner and he's in jail. He'll think about his own predicament down the line."
