Abstract: | The argument advanced in this study is that the attitude of husbands and/or husbands-to-be tends to dampen the wives' and/or wives'-to-be enthusiasm to take up wage employment and/or join certain occupations when and if these are not viewed favourably by their husbands and/or husbands-to-be, lest they break their marriages or lose their chances of contracting marriages respectively. Starting point is the individual employed husband and/or husband-to-be. The interest is his personal values and opions and what they tell about his attitude towards the employment of his wife and/or the type of occupation that he can allow her to take. The sample group deals with over 2000 husbands and/or husbands-to-be from a variety of districts and ethnic groups in Tanzania. Notes. sum. in French, tab. |
