Question 5 - Plagiarism Self Test

Sociology

Source Material Used:

Hakim (1996) argues that those young women who planned on a career rather than being a homemaker were more likely to choose typically male jobs. However, her argument is that these women adapt their fertility plans to their work plans, not the other way around. In other words, she would reverse the order of the two stages that Corder and Stephan describe.
