摘要：Research on the links between work and the family has suggested the two affect one another, though for many years the prevailing assumption was that they do not (Kanter 1977). One area of this research has addressedthe effects of women's employment on the distribution of power in marriage. A recurrent theme has been that women's employment increases power in families relative to males. This research further explores the effects ofwomen's employment on structures of decision-making authority in families. The findings lead us to condude that employment of women may provide resources and higher levels of prestige which in tum affect the structure ofpower in the family.
