Child-rearing as a career impediment to women assistant-professors
Autor/in:
Finkel, Susan Kolker; Olswang, Steven G.
Quelle: The review of higher education, Vol. 19 (1996) No. 2, S 123-39
Inhalt: "Over 40% of women assistant professors in a recent survey (n=124) identified publishing, teaching, committees, and 'time required by children' as serious impediments to achieving tenure, many more than reported sexual harassment and sexism as serious obstacles. Policy changes that will accommodate women professors' time commitments to children are discussed." (author's abstract)
Sharing of home responsibilities between professionally employed woman and their husbands
Autor/in:
Biernat, Monica; Wortman, Camille B.
Quelle: Journal of personality and social psychology, Vol. 60 (1991) No. 6, S. 844-860
Inhalt: "A sample of 139 married couples with young children and with relatively equal status
careers (wives were university professors or businesswomen) were interviewed about
work and home life. Considerable, traditional inequity in the distribution of child-care
tasks and chore responsibility was noted, but women were generally satisfied with
their husbands' home involvement. In the academic sample, the longer hours each spouse
worked, the more child care the other performed; in the business sample, child-care
involvement was largely determined by the husband's work hours, income, and education.
Overall, women were more self-critical than were men about their performance in home
roles, and women's role performance was rated more highly by husbands than by themselves.
Women professionals' continued use of traditional sex role standards and the importance
of attending to both partners' perspectives in studies of married life are discussed."

Motherhood and scientific productivity
Autor/in:
Kyvik, Svein
Quelle: Social studies of science : an international review of research in the social dimensions of science and technology, Vol. 20 (1990) No. 1, S. 149-160
Inhalt: "Virtually all studies on scientific productivity and gender find that men publish more than women. Several investigations indicate that women with children are more productive than childless women, which in turn has been the basis for claiming that women's lower productivity cannot be due to maternal responsibilities. This Note suggests that comparisons between women with children, and those without, can be misleading. When children's age is introduced as a variable, child care turns out to be a critical factor for productivity. While women with children less than ten years of age are considerably less productive than their male counterparts, women with all their children older than this are as productive as men in the same family situation and academic position."
