Women between the World of Work and Family

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the position of women between the wrld of work and family. The author first presents some recent sociological theories elaborating the roles within the family, and then moves on to empirical analysis of research conducted in Croatia, Austria and Poland. The aim of the research was to learn about the similarities and differences among examinees, with regard to the position of women in the family and the world of work. The examinees who took part in the research were young people and their parents. Examinees' attitudes and thoughts were discussed pertaining to women's employment in the society: women's employment, education of employed women, examinees' attitudes toward the role of the employed woman and mother and the traditional distribution of roles: of the housewife and the bread-winner father. After considering the role of women on the macro level, the author moves to the micro level and distribution of roles within the family itself. Attitudes with regard to the distribution of work in the family, decision-making powers and spending time with the family are analysed.
