Changing Patterns of Power and Identity of women in the Family: A Review
Keywords:
Family,, Changes,, Gender Roles, DevelopmentsAbstract
The present study is based on secondary sources and try to highlights the changing power structure and identity of women in the family. The main developments in family structures and their changes in the world of industrialization have been recognised in recent decades: fertility rates have decreased to below the level required to replenish the population. Marriage is also postponed and more frequently forgotten, and connections between couples – married as well as non-marital – have grown more unstable. These developments have led to more complex family compositions and an unparalleled variety of family forms and connections throughout the course of life. The new familial trends and patterns have been mirrored by changes in gender roles, in particular an increase in the role of women as an economic provider for families and,recently, a shift in the role of males with more participation in family duties, particularly childcare. Contemporary families are becoming more conscious of the linked sex and family changes and of the conceptualisation of the gender revolution. Developments connected to the new role of women are viewed as weakening the family and ascribed to the first phase of the sex revolution, while more recent family changes and the new male caring role are associated with the second phase.
