Abstract
This article reviews strategies for gender equality that appear in women's and family policy literature, and the evidence for their limited success in U.S. and European public policies and in employment practices, that is, in persisting male and female income differentials, occupational segregation, shortages in child care and child support, and women's disproportionate use of alternate and flexible work schedules in order to be more involved in family life than men.Keywords
