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 ...

Joseph Hardcastle, born in England in 1827, is probably best known for being one of only three individuals to pass the first Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in New York in 1896. Remarkably, he was just four months shy of his seventieth birthday and received the highest score of those that passed the exam Hardcastle was a regular contributor to various early journals about accounting in the US, and he became one of the foremost authorities of his time on the theory of accounting. Through an analysis of his articles, the goal of this paper is to reconstruct his theories and contributions to accounting thought and history, and to discuss these theories of accounting as related to the "science of accounts" that dominated accounting thought in the late 19th century US.

This study compares two countries: Italy and Britain. It examines data from the BHPS and the ILFI up to 2005 and uses event history models to investigate changes across four successive birth cohorts in the effect of family responsibilities on women's transitions between paid market work and unpaid family-care work from the time women leave full-time education until they are in their forties. My findings show that in both countries women's attachment to paid work has increased and that education and/or class have marked and still mark the divide, as predicted by human capital theory. However, in line with culturalist and institutional approaches, it also emerges that the effect of motherhood is, ceteris paribus, stronger in a residualist-liberal welfare regime like the British one. In It...

This paper reports on the stories told by 13 Canadian women Chartered Accountants (CAs)-why they pursued the CA designation and why they chose to leave public accounting firms. Their stories provide deeper insights into the previously reported reasons for female CAs leaving firms that are often reported within broad categories. Work-family issues received limited attention in the participants' stories. Two major themes emerged: the absence of stated aspirations/desire to become a partner; and frustrations with the intrinsic and monetary value of services delivered by public accounting firms. The implications of these findings for the profession and public accounting firms are examined and future research directions are discussed.

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...

Governments increasingly view earning and saving as the main solutions to low-income and debt, but is it feasible to expect all parents to work their way out of poverty? This paper compares gendered patterns of income, and state support for earning and caring in three similar welfare states: Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Relying on recent OECD statistics and national studies, the paper examines employment patterns, poverty rates and state support, noting similarities but also wide variations by gender, family configuration and country. The paper argues that increases in female employment have modified household incomes but the changes have been insufficient to counteract gendered patterns of unpaid work and the challenges women face when parenting alone. Especially mothers find the...
