Abstract
Work, family, and gender is a currently popular topic in the social sciences, although its roots go back for quite some time. Demographers, for example, have for decades been interested in the interrelationships between work and family and the conflict between the two for women. The flagship population journal Demography has published numerous articles on this topic since its inception in 1966. Early examples include “Mobility, Non-familial Activity, and Fertility” (Tien, 1967), “Family Composition and the Labor Force Activity of American Wives” (Sweet, 1970), and “Women’s Work Participation and Fertility in Metropolitan Areas” (Collver, 1968).
