| Tiivistelmä: | This paper assesses some of the implications of one of the major social changes to have taken place in the West during the second half of the twentieth century - that is, the increased employment of women, together with normative changes in gender relations and in women's expectations. These changes have been linked to an increase in individualism, which itself is associated with the transcendence of 'first modernity'. Thus it is suggested that new approaches to social analysis are required (Beck). Here it is argued that, rather than develop completely new approaches in order to grasp the changes that are under way, the 'economic' and the 'social' (that is employment and the family) should be seen as intertwined, rather than approached as separate phenomena. |
