Emphasis is placed on the ways in which women's work is related to child-bearing and rearing, and on the significance of children's work for increased productivity.; The authors show the need for further investigation into the nature of relations within domestic groups if domestic power processes are to be better understood, and the links with divisions of labour, resource allocation, fertility levels and the acceptance of family planning. 606 $aSCIENCE$2bisac 606 $aGeneral$2bisac 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aSpirituality 606 $aHoly, The 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aChristianity$2HILCC 606 $aReligion - General$2HILCC 615 7$aSCIENCE 615 7$aGeneral 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSpirituality. 615 0$aHoly, The. 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aChristianity 615 7$aReligion - General 676 $a200 700 $aBaofu$b Peter$01611821 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973837203321 996 $aFuture of Post-Human Religion : A Preface to a New Theory of Spirituality$94451770 997 $aUNINA
