Abstract
Worldwide, across various norms of national culture, there are perhaps few constructs that affect the intersection of work and family more than gendered norms. Work and family is, in many ways, inextricably linked with gender. Historically, the domains of work and of family have been characterized as “men’s” or “women’s” domains, and research on this topic has often discussed the role of gender, particularly as “male” or “female”. This chapter moves beyond this characterization to address the ways in which gender and gendered norms interact with national culture to affect work and family. Focusing on the multilevel nature of gender, it is defined and discussed at an individual-level, a family-level, an organization-level, and a national-level. Recommendations are made that researchers should examine the nested nature of gender and gendered norms in nuanced ways in both conceptualization and measurement as they approach and design future research on global work and family.
