“…Even in places where slavery was predominant (such as on the sugarcane plantations in the Northeast), the model of the patriarchal hierarchical family was not representative for the lower social classes. Although without social recognition or respect, women from these groups were consistently found to be participating in the social sphere and playing roles different than those described by the patriarchal model (SAMARA, 2002). This situation was intensified with the industrialization of the country during the second half of the 19 th century.…”

“…However, many demographers and historians have argued that there was considerable variation in terms of family compositions and roles over different social strata and regions in the country (SOUZA et al, 2001;SAMARA, 1997SAMARA, , 1987CORRÊA, 1993;ALMEIDA, 1987). It is now generally understood in Brazilian social sciences that the influence of the Catholic Church on family life, on the patriarchal model of family and gender, and on ethnic relations in families all vary considerably across Brazilian regions and social classes (SOUZA et al, 2001;SAMARA, 2002).…”

Gender relations have become a key dimension in family studies, and understanding gender relations as both determining and resulting from outcome of new family configurations requires the use of specific surveys aimed at the dynamics of couples. Unfortunately, nationally representative surveys of this type are not available for Latin American countries. Nonetheless, the most recent versions of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) include a section called "Women's Status and Empowerment", which can provide information about gender relations as well. This study aims at assessing the construct of gender relations in terms of couples' joint decision-making for all five Brazilian geographical regions. To this end, a step-by-step multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was applied in order to verify whether this concept can be compared across Brazilian regions. Results show that the DHS items can be used reliably for measuring couples' joint decision-making and that this construct can be meaningfully compared over the regions. These findings will contribute to further demographic and sociological research on gender relations which can use this concept and other indicators provided by the DHS to identify the causal processes related to it.

“…É desse modo, como representação da família, que o modelo gerado por Freyre foi difundido e incorporado às análises e, até hoje, apesar das críticas (CORREA, 1982;SAMARA, 1983SAMARA, , 1987) é, ainda, referencial para pesquisas e para a reflexão teórica.…”

ABSTRACT: This article discusses and analyses relationships between families and schools, focusing mostly on different aspects of the household as an institution. For that, we develop a discussion about the concept of family based on anthropological theorization. It follows to present the way the family has been studied in Brazil, the relationships among families and the school as an institution. Our objective is to discuss stereotypical representations of the household unity, its members' act and behavior, as well as the father and siblings in the schooling process, in order to bring up the importance of mother and father's affectivity in this process.

“…At that time, the family structure was patriarchal, with the male role much more prominent inside and outside the family. Brazilian society changed considerably in the nineteenth century with the proclamation of the republic, the abolition of slavery, the development of the south-east region of the country, the novel arrival of immigrants, and following growth of urban centres (Samara, 2002). These changes affected profoundly the structure of society, and the familial structure also started to change.…”

In the last three decades there has been a noticeable trend in the redefi nition of the nuclear family in Brazil. A recent increase in the rates of divorces and paradoxically also in the rates of marriages, the legalization of same-sex unions and adoption by these couples, and the phenomenon of teenage pregnancy are some of the aspects that refl ect on the current Brazilian family. This review highlights these changes and describes how family therapists in Brazil are facing the challenge of assisting these families, in a continental-sized country with uneven distribution of training courses and healthcare assistance.
