“…For Carmichael's (2011) work on the determinants of marriage ages, the change in dataset changed the signs on the coefficient on various family systems, though the overall magnitude of the effects remained unchanged. For Dilli et al's (2015) investigation of the factors driving gender equality, the main conclusions remained unchanged, though there were slightly increased effects for the endogamous community family. Within the scope of this paper, any explanations for these differences must remain speculative.…”

“…Another possibility lies in the geographical focus of the two studies. While Carmichael (2011) focused on countries outside Western Europe with the outcome variable being marriage ages and spousal age gaps, Dilli et al (2015) sought to explore the determinants of a composite indicator of gender equality at a global scale. The focus on countries outside Western Europe means that the changes made to Todd's African and Asian classifications could have a far larger impact than they do in a global comparison.…”

This paper investigates the possibilities for the creation of a global dataset on family and household characteristics. This is done by scrutinizing and comparing two prominent data sources on family system classifications. We first focus on historical data, by comparing Emmanuel Todd's classification of countries by family systems with ethnographic data compiled in George Murdock's Ethnographic Atlas. Qualitative and quantitative tests show that the two datasets frequently agree about family traits. Nonetheless, substantial differences exist that are mostly attributable to the focus of the datasets on different regions, and the difficulties in translating local, descriptive studies to hard data. We therefore emphasize that it is important to know the strengths and weaknesses of the two datasets and emphasize that robustness checks are necessary in empirical research into family characteristics. We also compare these historical data with present-day data. This comparison suggests that family characteristics and the values associated with them can persist over long periods.

“…Žvelgiant iš istorinės perspektyvos išskiriamos trijų tipų institucijos, veikiančios lyčių lygybę: religija, kultūriniai institutai ir tradicijos, reguliuojantys šeimos gyvenimą, bei teisinė sistema, būtina siekiant legitimuoti tam tikrą lyčių lygybės diskursą (Dilli et al 2015). Religija bando griežtai apibrėžti lyčių skirtis ir vaidmenis, todėl įvairiuose tyrimuose konstatuojami religijos nulemti skirtumai.…”

The general equality between people, including equality between women and men, should be one of the fundamental rights of every human being.…”
