Couples after Separation. Job Insecurity and the Change of Gender Roles in Couples in different Social Milieus II

这项建议是根据以下项目第一阶段的结果提出的：不稳定的环境：不稳定的就业和不同社会环境中夫妻性别安排的变化。在第二阶段，我们计划对分居的夫妇进行研究，其中分居可能是由于男性伴侣就业不安全或失业造成的冲突造成的。我们在项目第一阶段采访的夫妇能够重新安排他们的伙伴关系并调整他们的性别角色。但根据性别非典型收入关系的统计发现，在这些情况下，夫妻可能会失败。虽然在第一个阶段，我们试图找出夫妻如何能够应对由工作不稳定引起的婚姻压力，但拟议的研究将把重点转移到不利方面，并试图找出，在哪些情况下，在什么情况下，夫妻关系的破裂是由工作不稳定引起的。第二个目的是调查不同社会环境下夫妻离婚的模式。人们认为，关键的性别规范对双方都是保密的，因此无法进行任何富有成果的讨论。此外，我们的研究结果应该有助于对疏远和分离的一般理解。两位前合伙人将分别就他们的关系、危机和最后的恶化接受采访。通过在我们已经建立的环境框架内运作，保持了系统的连续性。重要的环境是：a)个人主义，有学术背景的城市居民b)熟练工人和技术人员c)职员，半专业人员和社会职业的成员。调查对象为离异夫妇，其中男性要么失业，要么工作不正常，而女性是养家糊口的人，提供至少60%的家庭收入。在离婚前，这对夫妇应该在一个共同的家庭里生活至少12个月。受访者应在30至50岁之间，因此处于工作生活的活跃阶段。

The proposal is based on the results of the first phase of the following project: Precarious circumstances: Insecure employment and the change of gender arrangements in couples in different social milieus. In the second phase we plan to do research on couples which have separated and where separation might have been caused by conflicts resulting from insecure employment or unemployment of the male partner. The couples we interviewed in the project's first phase were able to rearrange their partnership and adjust their gender roles. But as statistical finding on gender-untypical income relationship let assume, couples could fail under these conditions. While in the first period we tried to find out how couples were able to cope with conjugal stress caused by job precariousness, the proposed study will shift the focus to the downside and tries to find out, in which cases and under what circumstances dissolution of couples is caused by job precariousness. The second aim is to investigate patterns of dissolution in couples in different social milieus. It is assumed that crucial gender norms are veiled to both partners and are therefore beyond any means of fruitful discussion. Beyond, our findings should contribute to a general understanding about estrangement and separation. Both former partners will be interviewed separately with regard to their relationship, its crises and final deterioration. Methodical continuity is maintained by operating within the framework of milieus we already established. Significant milieus are: a) individualistic, urbane city-dwellers with academic backgrounds b) skilled workers and technicians c) clerks, semi-professionals and members of the social vocations. The investigation comprises former couples where the male partner is either unemployed or working in an atypical fashion and the female partner is the breadwinner, providing at least 60 percent of household-income. The couple should have lived together for at least 12 months in a common household before splitting up. The interviewees should be between 30 and 50 years old and therefore be in their active phase of working-life.
