Pathways through the life course have changed considerably in
recent decades. Many of our assumptions about leaving home,
starting new relationships and having children have been turned
upside down. It is now almost as common to have children prior to
marriage as afterwards, and certainly much more common to live
together before marrying than to marry without first living
together. Women are more likely to remain in the labour force after
having children and many families struggle with problems of
work-family balance at some stage in their lives, particularly when
they have young children. But how much has really changed? Is there
really more diversity in how individuals transition through these
life course stages, or just variations at the margin with most
people following a standard work and family life course? This
volume makes use of rich longitudinal data from a unique Australian
project to examine these issues. Drawing on broader theories of
social change and demographic transitions in an international
context, each chapter provides a detailed empirical assessment of
the ways in which Australian adults negotiate their work and family
lives. In doing so, the volume provides important insight into the
ways in which recent demographic, social and economic changes both
challenge and reproduce gender divisions.
