Is gender a primary determinant of patterns of participation in the labor force among adult men and women with different household responsibilities? No, although gender affects employment decisions indirectly, through household role. Labor patterns are more similar for men and women who have the same household role.Recent volatility in the Mexican economy has required households to alter patterns of participation in the labor force, voluntarily or not. Cunningham uses panel data to examine patterns of labor force entry among adult men and women with different household responsibilities, asking whether gender is a primary determinant shaping these patterns.She finds that labor supply patterns are driven more by household role than by gender. Heads of households, regardless of sex, behave similarly. Women who have neither spouses nor children behave more like men than like married women. They are also more likely than any other group to have inflexible, higher-paying jobs in the formal sector - which raises the question: Do employers discriminate based on gender or on household structure?She also detects a strong added-worker effect among secondary workers, a result not detected in the labor markets of developed countries that have social insurance programs.Finally, she finds that wives' choice of sector during downturns is subject to the households' earning needs, that husbands use informal wage or contract employment as an employer of last resort only in response to negative income shocks to the household, and that single mothers do not select the informal sector over the formal sector in response to either expected or realized negative income shocks.The policy implications? Interventions that target women aren't necessarily appropriate because women are heterogeneous. And programs that aid household heads - male or female - should be directed toward employment that will last beyond the economic shock.This paper - a product of the Gender Sector Unit, Latin America and the Caribbean Region - is part of a larger effort in the region to understand the role of gender in developing country labor markets.

Are women naturally better caregivers than men? Can paid care in an institutuion be good care? Can voluntary community care replace government welfare? Is the caring family disappearing? What role should government play in supporting or regulating families? Is day care for children as good as home care? Using engaging case studies and research findings, this lively new book from the Gender Lens Series explores these and other questions and controversies, challenging the notion that caregiving is a "natural" pattern and demonstrating how it is thoroughly social. Written in an inviting and readable style, the authors address complex issues about caring, making them accessible to undergraduate students and lay people. The book shows those who will enter diverse caregiving professions how to see their particular occupation as influenced by the larger society and broader social relations of caring. It also shows how beliefs about gender and family shape caregiving, and how caregiving affects gender inequality.

Social changes including an increase in dual-earner families, declining fertility, and growing problems of work-life 'balance' are underway as more women, particularly mothers, enter and remain in paid employment. The authors explore this in a number of European countries (Britain, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal).

Refuting the argument to choose between "the politics of recognition" and the "politics of redistribution," Justice Interruptus integrates the best aspects of both. ********************************************************* ** What does it mean to think critically about politics at a time when inequality is increasing worldwide, when struggles for the recognition of difference are eclipsing struggles for social equality, and when we lack any credible vision of an alternative to the present order? Philosopher Nancy Fraser claims that the key is to overcome the false oppositions of "postsocialist" commonsense. Refuting the view that we must choose between "the politics of recognition" and the "politics of redistribution," Fraser argues for an integrative approach that encompasses the best aspects of both.

Role congruity theory (Eagly & Karau, 2002) posits that individuals are perceived more favorably when they exhibit gender congruent characteristics and roles, but most research has not investigated how participant characteristics affect these perceptions. This research project examined how characteristics of the perceiver (i.e., gender ideology) might influence perceptions of men who adhere to or violate traditional male interests and roles. Specifically, these two studies examined how men of varying perceived levels of masculinity and femininity were perceived in either the breadwinner or caregiver role. Participants read a scenario depicting a man choosing to either remain in the breadwinner role or become the primary caregiver following the birth of his child. The man's perceived levels of masculinity and femininity were manipulated by describing his interest in either sports (e.g., masculine interest) or literature (e.g., feminine interest). Study 1 showed that men with a masculine interest were personally approved more than men with a feminine interest by only the male participants. Both the male and female participants perceived that society would approve of the breadwinner dad more than the caregiver dad, especially for the masculine target. In Study 2, the man with a masculine interest was personally approved more and perceived as receiving more approval from society than the man with a feminine interest. Non-traditional women increased their approval for a man with a feminine interest when he was the breadwinner. Interestingly, across both Studies 1 and 2, the female participants reported more romantic interest in a target male with a combination of masculine and feminine characteristics and roles. These findings provide evidence that men may continue to adhere to traditional masculine interests and roles as a means to receive approval from others and society. However, the romantic interest findings provide evidence that men may need to develop a combination of masculine and feminine qualities to receive romantic interest from women.

The global trend toward democratization of the last two decades has been accompanied by the resurgence of various politics of "identity/difference." From nationalist and ethnic revivals in the countries of east and central Europe to the former Soviet Union, to the politics of cultural separatism in Canada, and to social movement politics in liberal western-democracies, the negotiation of identity/difference has become a challenge to democracies everywhere. This volume brings together a group of distinguished thinkers who rearticulate and reconsider the foundations of democratic theory and practice in the light of the politics of identity/difference. In Part One Jürgen Habermas, Sheldon S. Wolin, Jane Mansbridge, Seyla Benhabib, Joshua Cohen, and Iris Marion Young write on democratic theory. Part Two--on equality, difference, and public representation--contains essays by Anne Phillips, Will Kymlicka, Carol C. Gould, Jean L. Cohen, and Nancy Fraser; and Part Three--on culture, identity, and democracy--by Chantal Mouffe, Bonnie Honig, Fred Dallmayr, Joan B. Landes, and Carlos A. Forment. In the last section Richard Rorty, Robert A. Dahl, Amy Gutmann, and Benjamin R. Barber write on whether democracy needs philosophical foundations.
