| Abstract: | This article investigates the ways in which the work-life balance choices made by heterosexual couples differ in different generations, how such choices are gendered, and the extent to which individualization provides an adequate conceptualization of the effects of social change on heterosexual couples. The results show support to the contention that processes of individualization are more apparent amongst younger generations and that, because of changes external to the family, there is more negotiation and pragmatism amongst younger generations about work-life choices. |
