Political change in socialist countries and increasing global economic interdependence and competition is leading to a reassessment of authority, hierarchy and individual decision-making in capitalist and socialist countries alike. Within countries, constraints on individual and family social mobility, attitudes towards workplace issues, and gender-divided labor within dual-earner household economies are increasingly interwoven social facts, yet shaped by political and economic forces not confined to each country. In such a context, comparative sociological research on these topics, such as that indirectly supported with this grant, is a vital tool of national understanding and reassessment. This award will support the beginnings of a timely U.S. contribution of data to a multi-nation comparative survey by means of a pilot survey of households in the Oakland- San Francisco area. The final form of the survey instrument being tested here and later collected from a broader survey of American households will contain questions paralleling those in instruments administered in the USSR, Hungary, Taiwan, Spain and possibly China. The recipients of this award comprise a individually productive and influential team of sociologists whose skill in survey methods and data analysis, experience in cross-national survey and field work and international reputation from their past research and writing commands the respect of distinguished collaborators abroad.
