Labouring Lives unravels the huge changes which have so
fundamentally altered the life courses of ordinary women over the
past one hundred and fifty years, namely the changes in marriage
and fertility patterns. Using dynamic data from Dutch population
registers and analytical techniques from the life course approach,
the book offers new evidence on women's changing position in the
labour market, their role in pre-nuptial sexuality, and their
contribution to marriage and fertility change in the Netherlands
between 1880 and 1960. The author reconstructs the socio-economic
and demographic worlds of different groups of working and
non-working women, and by doing so she is able to locate the
various groups driving the changes. Advanced statistical tools
enable the author to analyse differences in fertility strategies,
stopping versus spacing, employed by various social and cultural
groups in the Netherlands. This book leads to conclusions which
challenge a number of orthodoxies in the field.
