Abstract

The shift in gender roles within the family structure is an increasingly relevant phenomenon in the context of rapid social and cultural change. In the past decade, this shift has been evident in the increased participation of women in the public sector and decision-making, in contrast to prevailing traditional norms. However, gender inequality remains a challenge, particularly in the division of domestic duties and childcare. Furthermore, intergenerational gaps within families often exacerbate these issues, with older generations tending to maintain traditional views of gender roles, while younger generations seek greater equality and opportunities. This study analyzes the relationship between shifting gender roles and intergenerational gaps in family structure, as well as their impact on family relationship dynamics. Using a qualitative approach, the research explores the experiences of individuals from different generations to understand how these shifts affect family interactions and communication. The results suggest that recognizing more egalitarian gender roles can help reduce the intergenerational gap, creating a more inclusive and harmonious family environment. Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of education and intergenerational dialogue in raising awareness of gender equality, as well as the need to adapt family norms and values to meet modern challenges.
