The Pathology of Patriarchy and Family Inequalities<\/em><\/p>\n

Much demographic research implicitly or explicitly views family changes\u00a0over the past half century as examples of the \u201cpathology of matriarchy\u201d\u00a0first raised in Moynihan\u2019s 1965 report on The Negro Family: The Case for\u00a0National Action. The basis of this perspective is the correlation\u00a0between female-headed families and negative outcomes for children. Yet\u00a0the magnitude of family changes and any ill-effects vary across social\u00a0groups within their cultural, economic, and political contexts. By\u00a0reviewing the research on family, market, and policy changes over the\u00a0past half-century with this in mind, I argue that the pattern of group\u00a0variation does not point to an inherent pathology of matriarchy because\u00a0the differences in life chances across family types are minimized where\u00a0institutional arrangements support greater gender (and class) equality.\u00a0In fact, the gendered responses to the inter-related family, market, and\u00a0state institutional changes suggest instead it is a growing pathology of\u00a0patriarchy disproportionately hurting the life chances of boys and men in\u00a0post-industrial societies. \u00a0Only with full gender equality in states,\u00a0markets, and families will the pathology recede.<\/p>\n
