Gender Equality: Transforming Family Divisions of Labor (The Real Utopias Project) Hardcover – August 3, 2009
Purchase options and add-ons
In Gender Equality, Volume VI in the Real Utopias series, social scientists Janet C. Gornick and Marcia K. Meyers propose a set of policies—paid family leave provisions, working time regulations, and early childhood education and care—designed to foster more egalitarian family divisions of labor by strengthening men’s ties at home and women’s attachment to paid work. Their policy proposal is followed by a series of commentaries—both critical and supportive—from a group of distinguished scholars, and a concluding essay in which Gornick and Meyers respond to a debate that is a timely and valuable contribution to egalitarian politics.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“An extremely stimulating and provocative debate.”—Jane Lewis
“While sharing a common goal of greater equality among men and women, the authors critically discuss whether gender symmetry should be a goal in itself, for whom, and at what costs in terms of social inequalities ... This intense and honest dialogue makes for an exciting book.”—Chiara Saraceno
