Breadwinner Role Fades

Gideon Fairchild

Translator A AI

Summary

Breadwinner Role Fades examines the decline of the traditional male breadwinner model in American society since 1950, exploring its economic and social consequences. This transformation isn't solely about increased female workforce participation; it's deeply linked to broader economic shifts and evolving social norms. The book uses U.S. labor data to analyze the multifaceted implications, including its impact on income inequality and family stability.

 
The book investigates how the rise of the service sector, the decline of manufacturing jobs traditionally held by men, and increased educational attainment among women have all contributed to this shift. For example, the decline in manufacturing jobs meant that a segment of the labor force that usually had one primary earner started needing to find new solutions. It also explores how changing gender roles and policies have affected labor force participation, ultimately influencing household income distribution and the rise of dual-income and single-parent families.

 
Beginning with the historical context of the male breadwinner model, the book progresses through detailed analyses of labor statistics, demographic research, and policy implications. It offers a data-driven perspective on the interplay of economic forces and social dynamics, providing valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding modern American family dynamics.

History of Iceland: A...

Captivating History

Did you know that Iceland was likely initially settled by Irish monks?
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, has a storied history. After the Norse discovered Iceland, they began to settle it, allying the island nation with Norway. However, as power shifted in Scandinavia, Iceland would come to be governed by Denmark for several centuries.
For much of Iceland’s history, it practiced a subsistence society. The people were dependent on fishing and farming to survive, and because of their isolation, they did not advance at the same rate as the rest of Europe. In addition, they were often subject to forces beyond their control. The often-violent environment not only shaped their daily lives but also created many of the struggles they faced. Although the Icelanders were isolated, they were impacted by the events in Europe, especially those in the Scandinavian nations.
It took centuries, but the Icelanders were able to become a sovereign nation, doing so in 1944. Thanks to the Icelanders’ connection to their past, they have maintained their rich literary tradition and have developed a distinct national identity.
Iceland is often mentioned in history books, but how much do you actually know about it? In this book, you will learn all about the history of Iceland, from the settlement period to the 20th century.
Here is just a snippet of what you will find inside:The Old Covenant with Norway and what that meant for IcelandThe development of the Althing, which is the oldest existing legislature in the world todayThe conversion from paganism to ChristianityThe spread of literacy and Iceland’s rich history of literatureThe role of fish in Iceland’s history and economyIceland’s struggle for independence

The Supreme Court - Power...

Newbury Publishing

As the highest court in what has become the world's most powerful nation, The Supreme Court of the United States sits at the faultline between the ideal and the real, between justice and power, between the serene majesty of The Law and the sometimes bombastic, sometimes grubby disputes that define our politics. 
In the arguments before the court, principles clash with ambition and avarice, and it can be difficult to tell which is which. The decisions that the justices hand back are often wise and reasonable, but there have been moments of folly as well, and on more than one occasion it has taken decades for Americans to recognize the difference. 
Learn more about the Supreme Court through this series.
