Description

This landmark study by Catherine Hakim presents findings from two nationally representative surveys of men and women in Britain and Spain, examining ideal models of family structure and the complex interplay between family roles, work orientation, and lifestyle preferences. The research, originally published in 2003 and funded by the Future of Work Research Programme, reveals how these preferences significantly shape women's marital histories, fertility rates, employment patterns, and occupational segregation. Hakim's analysis demonstrates that patriarchal values and lifestyle choices have profound effects on women's life trajectories and career decisions, whilst offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between family ideals and economic realities in modern Western societies. This Routledge Revivals edition makes this important sociological work accessible to contemporary readers interested in understanding family dynamics, gender roles, and work-life integration.

Key Features

Catherine Hakim's empirical research draws on nationally representative survey data from Britain and Spain to examine family models and gender roles.

The study analyses how lifestyle preferences and work orientations directly influence women's employment patterns, fertility decisions, and occupational segregation.

This Routledge Revivals edition restores an influential 2003 publication that remains relevant to contemporary discussions of family structure and gender economics.

The research, funded by the Future of Work Research Programme and conducted by the ONS, provides rigorous data-driven insights into patriarchal values and family ideologies.
