“…21 They contribute less on average in households' combined earnings, partly because their burden of unpaid tasks in the household, such as for instance caregiving tasks related to childrearing. 17 This could be hypothesized to translate into a higher inclination to provide also care for an unhealthy spouse. 5,31 For some, not having to work may be considered a privilege after serious illness and perhaps disability.…”

BACKGROUND:Cancer affects patients' incomes, but to the authors' knowledge few studies to date have examined how the income of the patients' spouses may be influenced. In this population‐based study from Norway, the effects of cancer on both partners' earnings are analyzed.METHODS:The difference between labor earnings the year before the cancer diagnosis and that 2, 5, or 8 years later was compared with the difference in earnings over a corresponding period for similar persons without cancer, applying linear regression models to national registry data. Approximately 1.1 million married persons ages 35 to 59 years were included, among them 17,250 persons diagnosed with cancer during 1991 through 1999.RESULTS:Two and 5 years after a cancer diagnosis, married men experienced lower earnings than they would have absent the illness. Cancer in wives, however, did not affect men's earnings. Women's earnings were adversely influenced to the same extent by their own as by their spouses' cancer. Brain, lung, and colorectal cancer in male spouses produced the most adverse effects on women's earnings. All effects were most pronounced for women no longer married.CONCLUSIONS:Women's earnings are lower after both their own and their spouses' cancer illness, and divorced and widowed women experience the most pronounced reduction after spousal cancer. Men's earnings are lower only if they are diagnosed themselves. This may reflect traditional sex roles, with men as main breadwinners and women as caregivers. For family households, cancer in men may result in greater financial difficulties than cancer among women, although the effect will depend on breadwinner roles before diagnosis.

“…Sex differences and sex role stereotypes, such as the Traditional Model of -Opposite‖ Sex Identity, can limit couple, marriage, and family counseling by continuing to focus attention on gendered stereotypes. Movement toward understanding gender conceptualization within individuals and relationships shifts the focus from individual separateness to connection and interaction (Thompson, 1993). Change in perception may be particularly important to appropriately address gender roles within same-sex as well as opposite sex relationships.…”

“…In intimen Beziehungen kann ein erhöhtes Bewusstsein gegenüber geschlechtsspezifischen Ungleichheiten Frauen dazu befähigen, egalitärere Arbeitsteilungsarrangements auszuhandeln (Thompson 1993;Benjamin und Sullivan 1999). Die bildungsspezifischen Analysen geben zudem Aufschluss darüber, inwiefern sich in der Schweiz eine soziale Spaltung zwischen Frauen bezüglich gleichstellungsspezifischen Aspekten zeigt.…”

Schlüsselwörter: Mutterschaft, Einstellung, Geschlechterungleichheiten, Bildung, Längs-schnittanalyse Maternité et changement d'attitude à l'égard des inégalités de genreRésumé : Cet article examine comment l'attitude à l'égard des inégalités de genre change avec la transition vers la maternité. Basée sur les données du Panel suisse de ménages, une analyse longitudinale indique qu'après la naissance du premier enfant, la perception des inégalités de genre augmente et que les femmes se positionnent également plus en faveur de mesures de promotion des femmes. Cette augmentation n'est toutefois que temporaire et les analyses selon le niveau d'éducation n'indiquent pas d'effets tangibles.Mots-clés : maternité, attitude, inégalités de genre, formation, analyse longitudinale
