Abstract
The remarkable postwar increase in the employment of married women will be intensified by the eventual decline of the American birth rate, the earlier completion of child-rearing, and the decreasing work week. However, automation will require renewed attention to professional education for women, especially continuing education following the child-rearing period. Maternal employment is producing a more symmetrical family structure with greater equality between husbands and wives and between sons and daughters. Short-run effects frequently differ for sons vs. daughters, the masculine side of the family appearing demoralized as a result of the father's relative loss of status.
