Abstract

88 women; about two-thirds of the couples make these decisions jointly. Moreover, the distribution is virtually symmetrical; in about 15 % of the households husbands make these decisions more than their wives and in another 15 % of the homes wives usually make these decisions. While there are differences between the households of working and non-working women, they are small and there is nothing consistent about the direction.26 Conclusion The evidence is rather conclusive that Romanian women, while called upon to make a major contribution to the growth of the economy, endure a disproportionate share of the costs associated with work. Patriarchal tradition of longstanding has automatically conferred these household tasks upon women. The promise of socialism to take these tasks out of the private sector and place them in the public realm has only partially been met in Romania. Priority has been given to rapid growth of the industrial and construction sectors and, with the exception of kindergartens, few real resources have been transferred to the development of other public substitutes for private responsibility, nor has there been the development of labor-saving devices to ease this burden. The long-run solution to this problem involves a different policy
