Gender and Family Change in Industrialized Countries

by Karen Oppenheim Mason (Editor)

In this book, distinguished demographers consider whether changes in women's roles are the cause of such changes in family life as rising divorce rates and declining marriage rates, increases in out-of-wedlock childbearing, declining marriage rates, and a growing disconnection between the lives of men and children. The discussion covers over twenty countries, including the United States, the countries of western Europe, and Japan.
