New Right

• a biologically-based division of labour:

  • the division of labour between a male breadwinner and female homemaker is natural and biologically determined
• families should be self-reliant:

  • reliance on state welfare leads to a dependency culture and undermines traditional gender roles
  • it produces a family breakdown and increase of lone-parent families - resulting in social problems due to poor socialisation
  • (e.g. the state replaces the father as the main breadwinner)
