Abstract

The relationship between the household & work remains poorly defined in the sociological literature. An attempt is made to clarify this relationship & to examine the household as a factor in industrial geography. The appropriate focus of analysis is not the individual, but the household & sometimes the family. Since WWII, the household headed by a single M wage earner has ceased to be the dominant form. Working hours have been reduced & reorganized, & shift work has become more common. Households are increasingly subject to a need to relocate, but constraints of knowledge, differential opportunities, & dual employment household patterns limit their ability to do so. Public policy needs to take account of these developments to mediate the household-work relationship more effectively. 1 Table, 7 Illustrations. W. H. Stoddard.
