Bedingungsszenarien einer partnerschaftlichen Arbeitsteilung beim Übergang zur Elternschaft in Deutschland

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: On the basis of a qualitative longitudinal study of 14 German couples, the conditions that are necessary and suffi cient for an equal division of labour in the transition to parenthood are examined in an explorative way.Based on the assumption that couples with educational homogamy on a high level are probably more prone and suffi ciently assertive to establish egalitarian relationships, we show that such arrangements cannot be sustained or achieved without the existence of specifi c contiguous conditions.A comparison of attitudes, family values and norms with actual everyday routines also suggests in many cases the well-known "verbal open-mindedness and rigid behaviour".
