Summary
In “Parental Military Deployments and Adolescents’ Household Work,” Danielle Kwan-Lafond, Deborah Harrison, and Patrizia Albanese examine the impact that military deployment and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have on adolescent family members. They show how the gendered division of labour within families shapes these experiences such that the self-esteem of girls is adversely affected much more than that of boys.
