The Social Standing of a Housewife

Nilson, Linda Burzotta

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 40, 3, 541-7, Aug 78

This study, based on a survey of Milwaukee area adults, assigns the occupation of housewife a NORC prestige score of 70, one in the middle prestige range. Men and older raters evaluate it higher; working women and younger raters evaluate it lower. Housewife's social standing varies according to husband's occupation. (Author)
