Mothers' accounts of work and family decision-making in couple families: An analysis of the Family and Work Decisions Study.
- Authors
Hand, Kelly
- Abstract
The article explores mothers' accounts about how decisions concerning parenting and paid work were made in their families in Australia. They have also discussed mothers' perceptions about the extent to which their partners contributed to these decisions, and how their beliefs about the role of fathers in the lives of children and families influenced their decisions about these arrangements. Information about the roles of men and women in both childrearing and the labor market is also discussed.
