Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

The gendered division of labor remains a core bread-and-butter topic for scholars across sub-disciplines. This session explore these ideas with a focus on Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia, and 30 OECD nations, so examines how women and men are organizing their work in more developed nations. The question of how women and men share their life work, in the context of greater (but not complete) egalitarianism in paid employment and rapidly declining fertility rates and spiking aging rates is of vital policy interest.
