| Abstract: | This article makes a comparison between men's and women's economic relations in East and West Germany following the 1990 reunification to exemplify the impact of varying opportunity structures on women's relative contribution to family income. The study shows that women in west became less dependent on their partners in the 1990s. In contrast women in east were less able to contribute to family income. After 1990s women in East Germany regained some of their economic power because their partners had increasing difficulties sustaining employment. |
