Gender ideology, marital disruption, and the employment of married women

Article Abstract:

Assessments of the nature of marital disruptions of 3,284 women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, married for the first time between 1979 and 1990, illustrates that the quality of marriages directly impact the number of hours of paid employment per week in women believing in traditions but not so for women propagating gender equality in society. While traditional women accepted gender subjugation of women as normal societal practice, women with unconventional attitudes endeavored to oppose inequalities against women.
