Abstract

Paare zwischen Kindern und Karriere Immer mehr Frauen verfolgen eine Karriere, und die allermeisten Frauen mit einer Karriere (innerhalb und außerhalb der Wissenschaft) haben einen Partner, der ebenfalls Karriere macht. Das stellt viele Fragen: Was heißt es, dass die Berufs- und Lebensverläufe von hoch qualifizierten Frauen und Männern in Paaren miteinander verflochten sind? Welche neuen Herausforderungen ergeben sich damit für die Berufskarrieren von Frauen einerseits und für Koordinierungsarrangements in Partnerschaften andererseits? Existieren in unterschiedlichen Lebensabschnitten oder Berufsphasen unterschiedliche Verflechtungsweisen? Aus dem Inhalt: "Linked Lives" - Berufskarrieren von Individuen in Partnerschaften (Alessandra Rusconi & Heike Solga) Verflechtungsarrangements im Paarverlauf (Alessandra Rusconi) Meine, deine, unsere Karriere (Johanna Hess & Lisa Pfahl) Wissenschaftskarriere mit Wissenschaftspartner (Johanna Hess, Lisa Pfahl & Alessandra Rusconi) "Having it all" - Wissenschaftskarriere mit Kind(ern) (Johanna Hess, Lisa Pfahl & Agnieszka Skuza) Konsequenzen der Verflechtung (Alessandra Rusconi)

Increasingly demands of the workplace such as early or late hours, travel, commute, relocation, etc. conflict with the needs of being a parent. At the same time, it is through work that people increasingly define their identity and self-worth, and which provides the opportunity for personal growth, interaction with friends and colleagues, and whi

Abstract

This book studies the transformation of work in couples in Germany, the Netherlands, the Flemish part of Belgium, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, the United States, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, and China. It provides evidence that gender role change in couples has been slow and asymmetric, and demonstrates the importance of institutional differences among modern societies, determining the timing, speed, and pattern of the transition from male breadwinner to the dual-earner family mode.
