Routledge Households, Employment, and Gender - Sociology Book

Explore the complex changes in social, economic, and demographic structures with Households, Employment, and Gender. This book examines how arrangements governing love, work, and household routines transformed during the twentieth century. As women gained new employment opportunities, the social landscape shifted, reducing sex differentiation even while roles and power dynamics between men and women remained unequal. This text provides a framework to understand the trends and patterns that stay constant amidst these massive societal changes. Unlike other studies, the authors use a unique three-tier level of integration to analyze these shifts. It is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the historical evolution of work and domestic life through a sociological lens.
