Session Type: Oral


Sociological research has provided insights into the ways that the permeability between family and work produces work-family conflict for heterosexual, monogamous couples. This session examines the global implications of the unequal division of household and caregiving labor, and how women's employment that is often informal and precarious impacts on women's lives.
