According to sociologist Janet Z. Giele, women continue to bear the primary responsibility for child care and housework even if they are employed. Time budgets show that when one measures solo time spent with children, fathers average 4.5 hours a week and mothers 19.6 hours. In 1963, the President s Commission on the Status of Women published its recommendations for equal opportunity in employment. Socialization is the process whereby we learn to behave according to the norms of our culture. Most of the socialization takes place in the course of interaction with other people.
Abortion is a highly controversial issue.
Right to Life is an organized antiabortion group striving to repeal all proabortion laws. A 1995 study by Chew at the University of California found that half of the fathers of babies born to women between the ages of 15 and 17 were 20 years or more older than the mothers. In coming years, the increasing number of women in the workplace is likely to put more pressure on employers for equality in pay. The women s movement is more likely to focus on child care an aid to children. The aging of baby boom cohorts is creating a worldwide surge in the number of elderly people.
