Doing Transitions to non-normative work-family arrangements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The increase in women\u2019s educational attainment, augmented employment opportunities in the labour market, and shifts in family structures have contributed to a growing number of women assuming breadwinning roles. However, the exploration of transitions towards gender non-normative arrangements in the context of the global south has remained limited. Pakistan, characterized by its highly patriarchal cultural backdrop, prioritized gendered division of responsibilities, and distinct institutional context devoid of welfare state provisions and support systems such as unemployment insurance, offers a unique setting for investigating these transitions. Consequently, my doctoral thesis examines the various dimensions of men\u2019s and women\u2019s transitions towards non-normative family-work and carer-breadwinner arrangements. By concentrating on the experiences, practices, and coping strategies of female breadwinners and their male partners\u2014particularly in response to stigmatization\u2014I aim to illuminate diverse facets of Doing transitions and the manner in which individual experiences are shaped by specific social situations, cultural discourses, and institutional regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employing a constructivist grounded theory approach, a version of the grounded theory method that acknowledges the co-creation of knowledge by participants and researchers, emphasizing that meanings are derived from active engagement with realities, and entails concurrent data collection and analysis through constant comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data were collected from couples in which the female partner is the sole or predominant earner for their families. The study will contribute to research on female breadwinning in a highly patriarchal cultural context and to the theorization of \u201edoing transitions.\u201c Furthermore, it will enhance the debate surrounding the life course perspective by considering the role of institutional context (e.g., labor market structure, work-family policies, and gender culture) in shaping the subjective experiences of female breadwinning couples during their transition to non-normative roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
