De Jong Lecture Details and Registration
Given the dominant trend in Western societies toward increased female labor force participation, there has understandably been a great deal of exploration of women's time allocation and gender equality in market and nonmarket work during the childrearing years. Much less well conceptualized or studied empirically is what happens to women's (and men's) time and to the gender division of labor later in life, as children exit the parental home and women (and men) approach retirement. Dr. Suzanne M. Bianchi will discuss illustrative findings from a number of datasets that provide insights into women's (and men's) time allocation at a point in the life course when women's and men's work and family demands may again be more similar than during the childrearing years.
Discussants are Valarie King, is Professor of Sociology, Demography, and Human Development & Family Studies at Penn State; and Fran Goldscheider, Professor of Sociology, emerita, at Brown University and College Park Professor of Family Science at the University of Maryland. View Discussant Bios...
