It is based on asymmetrie perspective, trying to examine the interdependencies of husbands' and wives' transitions between full-or part-time paid work and unpaid household work beginning at the time of entryinto marriage. It begins with a description of long-term trends in labor force participation in Europe in general and in West Germany in particular, and then present a theoretica discussion of how husbands and wives affect each other in different social classes as well as summarize findings of previous research. This will then be followed by a description of data, variables and methodological approach to parallel careers."
