Offered By: The Open University via OpenLearn
Course Description
Overview
In this free course, Understanding society: families, you will explore how different families have different ideas about how work in the home should be divided. You will also investigate the diversity of families. We will see how any discussion of the division of labour has to recognise that families differ in terms of shape and size.
