Chapter Aufteilung von Erwerbs-, Haus- und Familienarbeit in Partnerschaften im Beziehungsverlauf : der Einfluss von Sozialpolitik in Europa

Abstract

In the light of the developments outlined here, the aim of this article is to present the division of employment, household and family work into partnerships in the course of relationships in a European comparison. For this purpose, current empirical analyzes from comparative social policy are systematically linked with empirical findings on the gender-specific division of labor. The core thesis of this article is that current changes and persistence tendencies in gender arrangements can only be understood in the context of political, structural and historical-cultural framework conditions.
