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 ...

We use multinomial logistic regression to evaluate the simultaneous influence of covariates on the race/ethnicity of spouses by gender. Most analyses of interracial marriage use log-linear models, because these models allow for the comparison of husbands' and wives' characteristics in homogamous and heterogamous relationships, controlling for population structure or size. The main disadvantage is that cross-classifications become unwieldy if many variables arc taken into account, or if independent variables have many categories. Using multinomial regression as an alternative allows us to treat some variables as continuous. These regression models also allow us to compare the characteristics of husbands and wives in various interracial marriages with those in endogamous marriages. We est...

Judicial alteration of the meaning of civil marriage from union of a man and woman to the union of any two persons raises a number of legal issues not raised by legislative redefinition; these are separation-of-powers issues centered in notions of the proper scope and role of judicial review, creation of standards to guide judicial application of broad and open-ended constitutional guarantees like equality, liberty, and dignity, judicial deference to the political branches, and the like. Here, Stewart examines whether the tasks of the judiciary in these areas are done well by citing appellate cases.

Based on a unique retrospective survey conducted in 2000 with several cohorts of men and women in Burkina Faso, the study analyzes how the transition to adulthood in the two largest urban centers of the country has evolved over the past twenty years. Results show that both the timing and the nature of important social steps in the lives of male and female youth, such as end of schooling, first paid employment, residential independence, first union and first birth, have undergone considerable changes since 1980. The period during which youth remain economically dependent on their elders seems clearly to be lengthening in Burkinabe cities. With a longer and more complex transition phase between childhood and adulthood, young people's life trajectories are also more diverse and new social ...

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...

It is surely not to audacious to infer that Germans leave the parental home while still in education more than Italians because they have additional means to do so. Not only their parents, as in Italy, might support them, in addition students' subsidizes and training wages represent an additional (if not even the main) source of income. This relative economic independence from parents might facilitate the achievement of residential independence, or at least it increases their "bargain power" vis-a-vis their parents. Moreover, also the employment conditions of young people in Italy and West-Germany are quite different. The youth unemployment rate is always higher in Italy than in West-Germany. Yet, while in the mid '80s the Italian rate was Only' twice as much as the West-German's, in th...
