Document Summary

Earning and caring th: surprise-children add to the workload, move from betty friedan"s the feminine mystique (1963) in which she identified isolation and lack of meaningful work for american housewives. 1970s: researchers started to identify housework/childcare as work-not merely an innate role/for love : women add unpaid work to paid work, arlie hochschild coined the second shift . I don"t know how she does it - the cultural ideologies of parenthood. Liberal states- more paid work than sd states: higher stress for mothers than fathers, sharing workload and supportive family policies reduce, growing gap between rich and poor. Lower work/life stress for sd countries than liberal. Work poor - not enough work; work rich - too much work. Opting out privilege of high income families: low income women don"t have partner to share care or $ for paid child care. Evidence of increased work stress and work-life conflict.
