Title:

[QUOTE=Admin;303]The study inserted control factors for the number of dependent children, having a preschool child, education-level, work hours reported, employment as a professional or manager, annual income and spouse’s annual income. They also took the years they worked with their employer and their expected chances of moving up in the organization.

“Looking first at the effects of the controls, then the job-related factors and then the demographic and familial predictors, the pattern of results increasingly suggests that urgent child care is viewed as a parenting problem and that families remain persistently traditional in solving this problem,” Maume states in the paper.

He adds that the gender differences in providing emergency child care exist despite the ideology of traditional families versus contemporary families that support equally sharing the housework, child-care and other family/work issues. “There has been almost no change in men’s priorities. Men put work first, and women adapt their work around the family, including both their children’s and husband’s work schedules,” Maume says.

The study suggests more research into how dual-working couples negotiate their responsibilities as parents and providers. Maume also suggests that since more men are reporting an equal share in family responsibilities compared with those a generation ago, future research should examine how men are actually adjusting their work/family prioritiy.[/QUOTE]
