Abstract: This special section draws upon theoretical work outlining two halves of the ongoing gender revolution (Goldscheider, Bernhardt, & Lappegard, 2014). In the 1970s, women, particularly mothers, began to move from primary involvement in the private sphere at home to greater involvement in the public sphere through paid employment. This first half of the process was completed in many countries by the mid-1990s, with a leveling off of the increase in married mother's labor force participation (OECD Economics Department, 2004). Men are expected to complete the revolution through greater involvement in the private sphere at home, but this part is ongoing. The second half of the gender revolution is the focus of this special section.
