Conflict between work and family has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of the women's movement, but recent changes in family structures and workforce demographics have made it clear that the issues impact both women and men. While employers and policymakers struggle to navigate this new terrain, critics charge that the research sector, too, has been slow to respond. Gender and the Work-Family Experience puts multiple faces – male as well as female – on complex realities with interdisciplinary and cross-cultural awareness and research-based insight. Besides reviewing the state of gender roles as they affect home and career, this in-depth reference examines and compares how women and men experience work-family conflict and its consequences for relationships at home as well as outcomes on the job. Topics as wide-ranging as gendered occupations, gender and shiftwork, heteronormative assumptions, the myth of the ideal worker, and gendered aspects of work-family guilt reflect significant changes in society and reveal important implications for both research and policy. Also included in the coverage: Gender ideology and work-family plans of the next generation Gender, poverty, and the work-family interface The double jeopardy effect: the importance of gender and race in work-family research When work intrudes upon employees’ personal time: does gender matter? Work-family equality: the importance of a level playing field at home Women in STEM: family-related challenges and initiatives Family-friendly organizational policies, practices, and benefits through the gender lens Geared toward work-family and gender researchers as well as students and educators in a variety of fields, Gender and the Work-Family Experience will find interested readers in the fields of industrial and organizational psychology, business management, social psychology, sociology, gender studies, women’s studies, and public policy, among others..

First published in 1999, the primary focus of this book is what goes on inside the ‘black box’ of households, beginning with decision-making but branching out to develop a comprehensive view of the domestic domain. It brings together theoretical frameworks relevant to the study of family households from several root disciplines, each framework highlighting a different approach. Each approach is applied to important problems concerning the functioning of family households. The book focuses on households and their members as active agents who manage both material and immaterial resources. The private sector, to which family households belong, is not viewed as just responding to impulses from the formal economy and to public policies, but as a dynamic system in its own right. In the view of Paul Pennartz and Anke Niehof, households not only accommodate to social change but also mediate and generate social change. In the book key studies are presented which exemplify approaches and issues. The key studies cover a wide range of societies in Europe, North and Latin America, Asia and Africa, thus also exemplifying the comparative perspective, which is another important feature of the book. Pennartz and Niehof examine issues including the organisational approach and resource allocation, the power approach and the division of household production tasks and the opportunity structure approach and the housing market.

"Gender and Power in Families" represents the first book devoted to British work on the subject of the relationship between gender and power in families. It contains both a conceptual discussion of the subject and a review of clinical practice. The contributors challenge the hidden assumption that there is equality between men and women and place the family into its wider social context, bringing to the practice of family therapy the fact that inequality exists in the domestic domain. The book will provide an impetus for making the issues of gender and power central to family therapy and practice.

For over two centuries the notion that societies have been sharply divided into women's (private) and men's (public) spheres has been used both to describe and to prescribe social life. More recently, it has been applied and critiqued by feminist scholars as an explanation for women's oppression. Spanning a rich array of historical contexts--from medieval nunneries to Ottoman harems to Paris communes to electronics firms in today's Silicon Valley--the twenty essays collected here offer a pathbreaking reassessment of the significance of the concept of separate spheres. After a theoretical introduction by the editors, certain essays reexamine historians' definitions of public and private realms and show how the imposition of these categories often obscures the realities of power structures and the alterable nature of gender roles. Other chapters consider how the concept of separate domains has been used to control women's actions. Additional essays explore the limits of public/private distinctions, focusing on women's working lives, the role of the state in the family, and the ways in which women including Native North Americans, African-Americans in the birth control movement, and participants in the lesbian bar culture have themselves reshaped the model of separate spheres. Making available the best papers on the public/private theme delivered at the 1987 Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, Gendered Domains will be welcomed by anyone interested in women's studies, including historians, political scientists, feminist theorists, anthropologists, sociologists, and philosophers.

Tensions about men's and women's contribution to home life are often close to the surface in domestic relationships. As a result, when arguments erupt it is common for people to draw on culturally embedded stereotypes to explain or justify what men and women should or should not do. Even in much of the sociological, feminist and men's studies literature, it is implicitly assumed that home life remains a woman's domain. As a consequence there has not, until now, been a wide-ranging analysis of gendered domestic practices available to students that critically compares men's and women's expectations and experiences fully. This book considers women's and men's domestic practices in a wide range of household types including: heterosexual couple, gay and lesbian, single people, older people, economic and cultural migrant, and communal households. It also explores the whole range of domestic practices including paid work, housework, childcare, leisure, managing and spending money and caring. The author argues that traditional gendered power relationships in the home are changing as women bring more economic resource into households and men express more interest in the project of domestic life. In doing so, the book explores the complex process of negotiation and compromise that occurs in all types of households as men and women attempt to match their expectations of what home life should be like, with the reality of everyday life. This thought-provoking book is ideal for anyone interested in debates concerning family life, gender and relationships, including students of Sociology, Gender Studies and Related Social Sciences.

Working parents across countries perceive increased work-family conflict. Workfamily conflict not only has detrimental effect on the well-being of individuals, families, and organizations, but also contributes to gender inequality and care crisis in society. This dissertation consists of three studies that examine work-family conflict in terms of theory, policy, and understudied populations. The first study examined theories of workfamily conflict through critical realism and gender lenses. Based on an in-depth critique of current theoretical and empirical evidence, an integrated-theoretical framework informed by role theory, gendered organization theory, and the ecology of the gendered life course approach was developed. The second study comparatively ranked OECD countries' statutory policies of parental leave, early childhood education and care, and flexible work arrangements, in terms of their levels of supportiveness and gender equality based on the Supportiveness Index and Gender Equality Index. Among 33 countries, Sweden ranks 1st based on both indices, while the United States ranks 30th for Supportiveness and 29th for Gender Equality. Mexico, Switzerland, and Turkey rank last for both indices. A new typology of four policy regimes was further constructed based on a care-employment analytic framework using secondary qualitative and quantitative data. This new set of regime types represents countries' varied abilities to help parents reconcile work and family demands, while promoting gender equality. The third study is a systematic review of immigrants' experiences of work-family conflict in the U.S. Four categories of factors associated with immigrants' work-family conflict were identified: 1) work-domain factors, 2) family-domain factors, 3) health outcomes, and 4) immigration, acculturation, and gender roles. Job demands are positively associated with work-family conflict, while having job control and job support are negatively associated with work-family conflict. More domestic work demands and economic responsibilities in the family domain have contributed to work-family conflict, whereas having domestic support for childcare and housework has mitigated it. Workfamily conflict has contributed to deteriorating physical and mental health outcomes among immigrants. Finally, this study revealed that immigration per se has uniquely shaped immigrants' work-family interactions. Social work implications of the three studies were discussed to better address work-family conflict and related gender inequality.
