This paper focuses on recognizing the contribution made to development by grassroots women working on a voluntary basis in
long term development projects. Using the example of healthcare, the paper problematizes the widespread move towards an increased
reliance on voluntary and third sector provision. Drawing on literature around women’s community activism, the research considers
the extent to which women carrying out health promotion work in Peru have taken on this role as more than “just voluntary
work,” highlighting their long term commitment during more than a decade of health promotion activities. The paper develops
debates around the professionalization of voluntary work, particularly considering the issue of economic remuneration for
health promoters, and emphasizing the gendered nature of their voluntarism; concluding by questioning the sustainability of
poor women’s long term, and largely unpaid, involvement as the linchpins of community development projects.

This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial
Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor’s degree, and is nearly non-existent
for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians’ and
heterosexual women’s commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for
industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women’s wages.

Gendered definitions of care influence breast cancer survivors’ coping strategies, sense of entitlement to care, and ultimately
their capacity to receive care. Using qualitative data from 60 intensive interviews, this study examines how gendered definitions
of care influence women’s experiences as care-receivers. Findings indicate that negotiating gender boundaries to care for
the self is both empowering and stigmatizing. Women with breast cancer are required to break gender norms that stress compliance,
nurturing, and putting the needs of others first to prioritize their own needs for care. Concurrently, they take on additional
nurturing roles to provide support to other women with breast cancer, relinquishing to some degree the individualistic approach
to life they found necessary to cope with their illness in the first place.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

Transference enactments play a central role in clinical supervision regardless of whether supervisors or supervisees consciously
recognize or acknowledge their presence. Supervisors who do recognize enactments better understand the core issues that interfere
with supervisees’ capacity to relate therapeutically to patients. Supervisory process is markedly enhanced when supervisors
consciously study manifestations of transference within the supervisory relationship and respond to them correctively. Corrective
interventions, whether purposeful or unintentional, expand supervisees’ relational and self-reflective capacities.

The Nordic countries at the same time exhibit a remarkably high participation rate of mothers and a more moderate decline
in fertility rates compared to other Western countries. This has been attributed to the fact that the welfare state model
and, especially, the family friendly policies chosen in the Nordic countries are unique. In this paper we evaluate the impact
of Nordic countries’ family friendly policies on employment, wages and children’s well-being. We demonstrate that, although
the ‘Nordic model’ has been successful in boosting female employment, it is a costly solution. Furthermore, family-friendly
policies mainly directed towards giving mothers the right to be on long paid maternal leave have adverse effects on women’s
wages with consequences for gender equality. Indeed, extensive family-friendly schemes may even have created a ‘system-based
glass ceiling’ hindering women’s career progression. There is no evidence however of a trade-off between family-friendly policies
and family welfare as effects on child development and children’s well-being of publicly provided child-care are found to
be modest or even positive.

Decoding Basic and Non-basic Facial Expressions and Depressive Symptoms in Late Childhood and Adolescence 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This study examined the relationship between decoding nonverbal cues and depressive symptoms in a general school population
of 606 children and adolescents (9–15 years). The focus was on the perceived intensity of several emotions in both basic and
non-basic facial expressions. The perceived intensities of anger and joy in low intensity facial expressions were related
to depression. The higher the perceived intensity of anger the more depressed adolescents were, whereas the reversed effect
was found for the perception of joy, but only in girls. These results suggest that the development of decoding biases in low
intensity facial expressions may be useful for understanding the development of individual and gender differences in depression
during adolescence.

Married Women’s Labor Supply and Spousal Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: Results from Panel Data 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Jason E. Murasko 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(3):391-406
This paper investigates the effect of spousal insurance coverage on married women’s labor supply. This effect was hypothesized
to be negative, since married women have an incentive to seek employment in jobs that will provide insurance when their husbands
do not provide coverage. Panel data from the 1996–2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys was used to control for the potential
correlation between unobserved characteristics and spousal insurance. The findings suggest that spousal coverage does have
a negative effect on married women’s labor supply, and that most of the reduction in labor supply seems to derive from shifts
out of the labor force rather than between part-time and full-time work.

Saving for Children’s College Education: An Empirical Analysis of the Trade-off Between the Quality and Quantity of Children 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Tansel Yilmazer 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(2):307-324
This paper examines the effect of children’s college expenses on household savings. The theoretical model introduces life-cycle
savings into the quality–quantity model of fertility and derives predictions for the impact of expected expenses on parents’
savings. Using the actual amount of parents’ financial support reported in the Survey of Consumer Finances, the empirical
model estimates the expected expenditures on children’s college education and investigates the effect of expected expenditures
on parents’ savings. The results show that parents’ support for each of their children’s college expenses decreases with the
number of children. The results are consistent with the predictions of the life-cycle theory of saving and consumption that
households save in advance for expected expenses to smooth their consumption.

This study addresses issues related to inequality formation and reproduction, especially in regard to gender dynamics operating
in a non-western society. Grounded in a post-colonial understanding of urban educated upper and middle class women NGO volunteers
in contemporary India, it analyzes how they negotiate new approaches to challenge existing traditional gender roles, yet in
critical ways contribute to their reproduction, particularly the traditional concept of ideal Indian womanhood. Employing
structural ritualization theory we examine how ritualized symbolic practices related to the traditional concepts of caretaking,
sacrifice, and the concept of natural sexual differences continue to be emphasized in a generation confronted with conflicting
expectations about modern women’s roles. Twenty-one testimonies provide the major source of evidence along with data gathered
through participant observation. This research enhances our understanding of the power of rituals and how they can continue
to shape the cognitions and activities of actors.

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

Transnational social networks powerfully shape Mexican migration and enable families to stretch internationally. In an atmosphere
of such high dependence on social networks, it would be rare for families not to be affected by the opinions of others. This
article analyzes this often-overlooked aspect of social networks, gossip. I analyze gossip stories prevalent for one type
of migrant family, those in which parents and children live apart. Drawing on over 150 ethnographic interviews and observation
with members of Mexican transnational families and their neighbors in multiple sites, I describe both parents’ and children’s
experiences with transnational gossip. I show that in a transnational context, gossip is a highly gendered activity with different
consequences for men and women. Although targeting both women and men, transnational gossip reinforces the expectations that
mothers be family caregivers and fathers be family providers even when physical separation makes these activities difficult
to accomplish.

The economics of gay and lesbian couples: Introduction to a special issue on gay and lesbian households 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents a simple conceptual framework integrating three couple-related outcomes analyzed in this volume: wage
differentials in earnings related to couple formation, household formation (including cohabitation and registration as Registered
Domestic Partnership), and intra-household allocation of income. It also discusses some of the articles’ main findings.

Fairness considerations often are invoked to explain wage differences that appear unrelated to worker characteristics or job
conditions, but non-experimental tests of fair wage models are rare because market data rarely permit researchers to measure
individual workers’ productivity and its value. We use data from the baseball labor market to address this problem, and find
no support for fair wage theory. We do find, however, that fairness premia can be illusory: Wages appear to incorporate fairness
premia in regressions that control for variation in individuals’ physical output, but such premia evaporate when the value
of that output is held constant.

Collective and Unitary Models: A Clarification 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Martin Browning Pierre-André Chiappori Valérie Lechene 《Review of Economics of the Household》2006,4(1):5-14
In this note we identify and clarify a confusion that has arisen in the literature about the exact relationship between unitary
and collective models and what enters the Pareto weight and the sharing function. We suggest that we should denote as ‘unitary’
any model that leads to outcomes that satisfy the Slutsky conditions whether or not these outcomes depend on distribution
factors. In particular, income pooling is neither necessary nor sufficient for a unitary model. We also show that the presence
of prices or total expenditure in the sharing rule cannot be used as a test for a unitary model.

This paper reviews the main bodies of contemporary urban sustainability theory. From this analysis, two underpinning paradigms
of urban sustainability are identified: (1) The ‘Human Exemptionalism Paradigm’ (HEP), which emphasizes the ability of humans
to overcome environmental problems—see Urban Sociology, Urban Ecology, Urban Geography, Urban Psychology and Political Economy;
and (2) The ‘New Ecological Paradigm’ (NEP), which emphasizes the criticality of ecological limits to human progress—see Urban
Metabolism, Energy/Emergy Analysis and Ecological Footprinting. Each of these approaches is critically reviewed, highlighting
their main assumptions, theoretical and practical foci. It is argued in the paper that if the related issues of urban sustainability
and development are to be progressed, there needs to be: (1) a greater maturation of the NEP approaches, which are ‘relative
newcomers’ to the area of urban theory; and (2) greater integration and dialogue between the HEP and NEP approaches to urban
sustainability than has hitherto been the case.

Women’s tendency to outperform men on measures of accuracy in interpreting the meaning of nonverbal behavior might be due to such measures being more congruent with women’s interpersonal goals than men’s. The present study examined undergraduate men’s and women’s (N = 41) nonverbal judgment accuracy on the Interpersonal Perception Task-15 (IPT-15; Costanzo & Archer, 1993 [.The interpersonal perception task-15 (IPT-15). Berkeley: University of California Center for Media and Independent Learning) when the purpose for using their judgment skills was manipulated to be either congruent or incongruent with stereotypic “masculine” and “feminine” interpersonal goals. Results showed that each gender was at a relative disadvantage in judgment accuracy in the gender-incongruent goal conditions: women were relatively less accurate when they thought the IPT-15 measured judgment skills of use to interrogators in the military, whereas men were relatively less accurate when they thought the IPT-15 measured judgment skills of use to social workers in the social services. Discussion centers on the importance of matching individuals’ interpersonal goals to the purpose goals of the measure when using measures of interpersonal sensitivity.

This paper first identifies the determinants of spouses’ satisfaction levels within the household with respect to their leisure
time and, secondly, characterizes whether their preferences have some degree of altruistic or egoistic character in regard
to this particular satisfaction. To that end, it formulates a theoretical framework from the collective family model whose
stochastic formulations are estimated for 14 EU countries. The general empirical results first reveal that the presence of
children has a significantly negative impact on the leisure satisfaction of both spouses. Then, increases in individual incomes
lead to lower own leisure satisfaction levels. Both husbands and wives show egoistic behavior with respect to the labor and
non-labor incomes (wage rate) of their respective spouses’ satisfaction levels.

In recent years, American women’s housework time has declined while American men’s housework time has risen. We examine how
these changes have affected economic inequality in the United States. Using time-diary data from the Time Use in Economic
and Social Accounts, 1975–1976 (N = 1,484) and the American Time Use Survey, 2003 (N = 5,534), we value adults’ housework using two alternative methodologies and assess its influence on households’ real access
to goods and services in both years. Results suggest that housework reduces economic inequality in both years. But, between
1975–1976 and 2002–2003, overall economic inequality rose largely because of the growing wage inequality and also, in part,
because of growth in housework inequality. Socio-demographic change partially inhibited the overall growth in economic inequality.

The Proxy Effect: Gender and Gambling Problem Trajectories of Iowa Gambling Treatment Program Participants 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Nelson SE Laplante DA Labrie RA Shaffer HJ 《Journal of gambling studies / co-sponsored by the National Council on Problem Gambling and Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming》2006,22(2):221-240
Recent research has found that men and women who end up in gambling treatment tend to follow different trajectories to that endpoint: women generally begin gambling later in life, but progress to problems and seek treatment more quickly. With women’s prevalence rates of gambling and disordered gambling increasing, it has become important to identify the causes and consequences of these trajectory differences. The current study used a sample of 2,256 gamblers enrolled in the Iowa Gambling Treatment Program to examine the relationship of gender and other demographic, economic and health-related (i.e., psychosocial) factors to empirically-identified gambling problem trajectories. The results indicated that gender made a statistically significant contribution to the prediction of trajectory, but increased predictive accuracy by only 1–2% beyond a model with psychosocial predictors. Gender’s contribution was limited to its relationship to age of initiation; men and women’s problem progression did not differ meaningfully once age of gambling initiation was taken into account. Gender is a unique contributor to the development of gambling problems among treatment seekers, but it is only one small part of the myriad psychosocial characteristics that influence gambling problem development.
