Despite the growing proportion of women in the labor force, gender wage gaps and gendered occupational segregation are still major problems.1 Non-standard employment and precarious work are more common among women than men.2 Women also bear significant unpaid caregiving responsibilities and experience interrupted paid working lives.3 As female workers age,

History backfires: Reminders of past injustices against women undermine support for workplace policies promoting women
Public discourse on current inequalities often invokes past injustice endured by minorities. This rhetoric also sometimes underlies contemporary equality policies.

Family-to-Work Conflict: Gender, Equity and Workplace Policies
Over the past three decades, as the increase in working mothers and changes in the role of “traditional fathers,” working couples are faced with allocating and dividing family and work responsibilities. A large body of research has examined how couples create a sense of balance in the midst of enormous family and work-related responsibilities, trade-offs, and sacrifices (Duxbury & Higgins,
