Transformations of Gender Relations

Claude Diebolt and Faustine Perrin

Chapter Chapter 4 in Understanding Demographic Transitions, 2017, pp 141-173 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter investigates the evolution of gender roles and relations over the past 200 years. With the development of industries it became more difficult for women to combine the family and professional spheres. The investigation of family organization suggests that a transition has occurred from a sexual division of labor to a more egalitarian distribution of the tasks within the household in parallel to economic and demographic developments.
