Produktbeschreibung
In particular, the impact of males' resources on their female partners' employment careers is dependent on the welfare state regime. In conservative and Mediterranean welfare state regimes, women's paid employment is negatively correlated with the occupational position of their husbands. In liberal welfare state regimes, no impact of husbands' resources on their wives' labour force participation could be detected. In the social democratic welfare state regime and generally in (former) socialist countries, husbands' resources have a positive effect on their wives' employment so that occupational resources cumulate in dual-earner families.
The first international comparative study of career changes among couples in modern society, this important book spans the globe, addressing career issues in Germany, the Netherlands, the Flemish part of Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greta Britain, the United States, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, and China. Using longitudinal data, it explores what has and has not changed for couples in various countries because of women's greater involvement in paid employment.
