qualitative research, gender roles, cultural pressures, socialisation
This interesting piece of qualitative research explores attitudes towards sons and daughters in a group of members of the British South Asian community. Despite second-generation immigrant women not always sharing the previous generation’s view of the importance of having sons, they still felt the pressure of cultural expectations to give birth to male children. This article is helpful to students taking the Families and households topic, but is also relevant to issues of culture and gender.
