   Author : Mieko Takahashi; Jane Millar; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

   Abstract : The main aim of this thesis is to analyze and compare women’s experiences, choices and practices in family life relative to men’s.
