Job-Family Trade-offs. The Multidimensional Effects of Gender.

Mennino, Sue Falter; Brayfield, April

Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v29 n2 p226-56 May 2002

Data from 464 women and 460 men on measures of gender ideology and gender composition of occupations indicated that women and men sometimes make different job-family trade-offs. Those in male-dominated occupations made more accommodations for jobs than family. Gender attitudes had little effect on trade-offs. Family demands often operate similarly for men and women.
