9401116 Evans This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. It is a study of the impact of German reunification on East German women, based on in-depth interviews conducted with eastern German couples who have children. Topics covered by the interviews will include: 1) employment in the new, capitalist labor market, 2) child care arrangements before and after unification, and 3) financial and emotional dependency of partners. Current German government policies have the effect of encouraging women to leave the labor force to have families, while former East German policy did the opposite. Thus, this research will examine an area where governmental change may have a substantial impact, thus permitting the testing of sociological theories of national transition. %%% The research supported in this award will contribute to social-scientific understanding of transnational aspects of global change and democratization. Across the world, massive shifts in government policies can be expected to affect decisively the context in which individuals and families make career decisions, and through these decisions, the social and economic status of women. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists. ***

小行星9401116 这是一个奖项下的赠款为改善博士论文研究计划。 这是一项关于德国统一对东德妇女的影响的研究，其基础是对有孩子的东德夫妇进行的深入访谈。 采访的主题将包括：1）在新的资本主义劳动力市场的就业，2）统一前后的儿童保育安排，以及3）伴侣的经济和情感依赖。 目前德国政府的政策鼓励妇女离开劳动力市场去成家，而前东德的政策则相反。 因此，本研究将探讨一个地区，政府的变化可能会产生重大影响，从而允许测试的社会学理论的国家转型。 %%% 该奖项支持的研究将有助于对全球变革和民主化的跨国方面的社会科学理解。 在世界各地，政府政策的巨大变化预计将对个人和家庭作出职业决定的环境产生决定性影响，并通过这些决定影响妇女的社会和经济地位。 除了通过研究取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将在物质上帮助一位非常有前途的学生完成博士研究。 论文 因此，它有助于国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的全面培训。 ***
