Who Supports the Family?: Gender and Breadwinning in Dual-earner Marriages

by JeanL.Potuchek (Author)

Synopsis

In a dual-earner marriage, why is a wife's paid employment less likely to be defined as "breadwinning" than her husband's? This book uses data from a study of 153 dual-earner couples to examine the allocation of responsibility for breadwinning and the social construction of gender in their marriages.
