Work-Family Decision Making Processes: How Italian Partners Swap their Perspectives (Re)Producing the Gender Agency Gap

Author

Abstract

The paper aims to explore what are the personal perspectives, towards past, present and future, through which 45 Italian partners with young children define the impact of social problems on the work-family fit and make their choices. The narrative analysis to life course shows a certain structuring of stories that is built around the parenting turning point, after which the personal perspectives within the couple are overturned compared to the previous stage. Despite the diffusion of gender equality values, the swap between the partners of interpretative repertoires based on the ability to operate their own choices tends to reproduce the traditional gender agency gap
