In this book, Hakim presents a new, multi-disciplinary theory for
explaining and predicting current and future patterns of women's
choice between employment and family work. Preference theory is the
first theory developed specifically to explain women's behaviour
and choices. As such, it constitutes a major break from
male-centred theorizing to date in sociology and economics.
Preference theory is grounded on the substantial body of new
research on women's work and fertility that has flourished within
feminist scholarship. It identifies five major historical changes
that collectively are producing a qualitatively new scenario for
women in prosperous societies in the 21st century. Throughout the
analysis, the USA and Britain illustrate what the new scenario
means for women, how it alters their preferences and
work-lifestyles choices. Hakim also reviews research evidence on
contemporary developments across Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan,
and the far East to develop a new theory that is genuine
international in perspective.
