Previous research has found that high levels of education and job commitment tend to generate dissimilar patterns of family formation and household responsibility for men and women. Using university-based academics as examples of highly educated professionals with strong career commitment, this paper investigates their family circumstances through a survey of previous research and qualitative interviews in New Zealand. Although more women are now entering the academic profession and moving into senior positions, their personal biographies often differ from their male counterparts. The paper reveals the extent of family differences, exploring gendered priorities, perceptions and constraints reported by academics with similar educational qualifications. The paper argues that family patter...

Every woman can identify with one (or more) of the female types the show captured in broad strokes. For the party girls, there's promiscuous [Samantha] -- a modern version of Mae West, she's living proof that blonds have more fun, even when they're over 40. The traditionalists could relate to uptight, conservative Charlotte, who dreams of a conventional home and family. Hard-bitten cynic? Miranda's your woman -- a lawyer deeply suspicious not only of men, but of the entire human race. And it's not hard for conflicted post-feminists to see themselves in [Carrie Bradshaw], a modern Everywoman torn between romantic idealism and a yearning for independence.

This paper examines the effect of life course factors on the decision by American college educated women to stay at home or continue their careers after they have children. Data come from interviews with 48 white and African-American college-educated women that covered major events from childhood to the present, along with ideas for the future. Interviews were coded in terms of four major themes: identity, relational style, motivation, and adaptation. Findings revealed that identity as a mother was different for the two groups-central for the homemakers but combined with work for the career women. In relational style, homemakers relied on husbands primarily as breadwinners; career women relied on them for help with household work and childrearing. Motivation and rewards of homemakers we...

Despite the acknowledgment of pluralism, Caribbean family literature often focuses on the Afro-Caribbean family and does not satisfactorily address the issues of the Indo-Caribbean family. This paper examines whether the Indo-Guyanese differ from the dominant culture of the Anglophone Caribbean in the structural arrangements of the family. Findings from secondary analysis of crosssectional data of Guyana collected in 2004, suggest that the Indo-Guyanese significantly differ from the Afro-Guyanese in the structural arrangements of the family. Indo-Guyanese were more likely to be in marital unions and have longer marriages than the other racial groups, even when controlled for age. These differences suggest that the present day Indo-Guyanese have not assimilated into the dominant Creole c...

Classic descriptions of the "Brazilian family" were limited to the [White] upper class in "old" (plantation) Brazil, and did not describe the situation of more recent immigrants from Europe, lower-class Whites or non-Whites of any class. For instance, we read that the "traditional" Brazilian family was based on the extended, patriarchal, Catholic family of the Portuguese, and that casa grandes (plantation mansions) were often lived in by an older couple, their married sons and grandchildren (e.g. de Azevedo, 1965). We read that marriage was endogamous; divorce was non-existent; and that males were often active extra-maritally. Curiously, little is said about the females to whom those males were married or with whom they had extra-marital affairs, about their children, or about people wh...
