This paper focuses on the links between the education, family, and professional life of men and women in British Columbia. As surveys (questionnaires and interviews) reveal, the revolution for women in terms of career, independence, and family remains incomplete. Whatever their level of education, women are still less likely to work full-time than their male counterparts. Fifteen years after they completed secondary education, most of the women interviewed about their life paths were married and had children. Women do still more household chores than five years earlier. These findings are at odds with those showing that more educated men engage more in household chores, childcare especially (Bianchi et al. 2000, Bonk & Esping-Andersen 2008), but confirm that the revolution towards gender equality at work and at home is still at a dead end (Hochschild 1989).
