Abstract

In her book, Anke Kerschgens examines the determinant factors for the division of labor in couples with small children. Here, she places specific emphasis on the unconscious reasons for a praxis that partially contradicts those attitudes verbalized by the parents. Even if many of the findings and conclusions are not really new, the work offers a good indication for further interdisciplinary developments of sociological theories of the division of labor.
