Featuring data on married, cohabitating, male\/female, and same-sex couples, the authors of the book's chapters analyze the changing impacts of work, parenting, and the health benefits of marriage for men and women. Trajectories in the evolution toward gender equality provide the backdrop for discussions of women and men as partners, parents, and workers in contemporary society. Contributors also keep a sharp focus on the complexities of gender issues as they intersect with crucial contexts of cohort, class, race\/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender equality and economic inequality: impacts on marriage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansionist theory expanded: integrating sociological and psychological perspectives on gender, work, and family change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender, work, and family: action in the interactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChanges in U.S. mothers' and fathers' time use: causes and consequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA case for gay fathers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender, marriage, and health for same-sex and different-sex couples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGender and Couple Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e documents social roles and social change with fascinating insight to advance research in fields of psychology, sociology, demography and economics and to the benefit of work organizations, policy makers, family and couple therapists and other mental health professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSusan McHale, Ph.D., is Director of the Social Science Research Institute and The Children, Youth, and Family Consortium and Distinguished Professor of Human Development at The Pennsylvania State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValarie King, Ph.D., is Professor of Sociology, Demography, and Human Development \u0026amp; Family Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, and is the Director of the Family Demography Training Program at the Population Research Institute.
