  • Oppong, Christine.

Abstract

Indicates the need for a closer consideration of male roles in fertility-related decisions and family planning; reiterates the significance of sex roles and the equitable sharing of responsibilities and resources between females and males for fertility decline and the need to provide parallel services for men as well as women; need to break the conceptual barrier posed by viewing work as essentially masculine and family responsibilities as feminine and to consider simultaneously the occupational roles of husband and wife and their domestic roles - four different roles and how they are articulated and interact.
