Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Family Stage Migration pattern, where family members migrated to the U.S. at different times, often led to more shared responsibilities between men and women in the family. This was partly because the migration process itself necessitated more flexibility in gender roles, with women often taking on work outside the home or managing family affairs alone while waiting for other family members to join them. This contrasted with families immigrating together after 1965, who might have maintained more traditional gender roles upon settling in the U.S. together.
