Document Summary
Children"s economic position is initially the same as the adults with whom they live, and because of the importance in class position, parents typically do all they can to assist their children"s future economic status. Since work has been central to definitions of masculinity, changing opportunities for economic participation have significant implications for men"s identities: prior to industrialization, many men were self-employed or worked in family enterprises, in which women worked as well. Industrialization meant that most men became subordinate to an unrelated boss at work. In addition, few men now have jobs with demands for physical strength, which used to be seen as a common way to establish one"s masculinity. Over the last several decades, in each stage of life, men & women in the u. s. have come to share similar labour-force participation rates. Women"s labour force has increased in all regions in the world.
