Contemporary perspectives on gender highlight the multilevel processes that maintain the gender system, from the hegemonic cultural beliefs embedded in state institutions to the gendered interactions that occur in everyday life. This study investigates immigration as a source of diversity and adaptation in the gender system. Using data on immigrant and native adolescents in the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU), we examine the intergenerational transmission of attitudes about the domestic division of labor. Our results show a strong association between mother’s gender attitudes and child’s gender attitudes among both immigrants and natives, with no significant difference between the two groups. The persistence of beliefs grounded in family culture results in significantly higher levels of gender traditionalism among adolescent children of immigrants as compared to their native peers. These results underscore the centrality of families as a relational context that contributes both to the reproduction of cultural beliefs about gender and the slow pace of shifts in hegemonic gender beliefs in response to social change.

代际不和谐还是文化持久性？欧洲移民和性别信仰的代际传递


当代性别观点强调了维持性别系统的多层次过程，从嵌入国家机构的霸权文化信仰到日常生活中发生的性别互动。本研究调查了移民作为性别系统中多样性和适应性的来源。使用四个欧洲国家移民儿童纵向调查 （CILS4EU） 中关于移民和本地青少年的数据，我们研究了对家庭劳动分工态度的代际传递。我们的结果表明，移民和本地人母亲的性别态度与孩子的性别态度之间存在很强的相关性，两组之间没有显著差异。与本国同龄人相比，基于家庭文化的信仰的持久性导致移民的青少年儿童的性别传统主义水平明显更高。这些结果强调了家庭作为关系环境的中心地位，它既有助于性别文化信仰的复制，也有助于霸权性别信仰为响应社会变革而缓慢转变。
