The real problem is simply that Europe is comparatively less capable of managing the postindustrial family in general, and women's desire to work in particular. It is this which demands explanation. The apparently contradictory behaviour of married women in the postwar years is best explained by class differences. It is not surprising that deruralization causes a decline in female employment. In agriculture women typically work, so if the wives of millions of urbanized males choose housewifery, the result is that the male bread-winner family becomes a mass phenomenon.
Why, then, do we now seem to have an especially acute employment problem? The reason does not lie in service growth per se, but in a combination of possible circumstances. The most cited reason has to do with labour market regulation and rigidities ('Eurosclerosis'). 13 One refers to the nature of services and service employment; the other to the growth and composition of labour supply. 3 presents data for the two decades in which a given country experienced its sharpest decline in rural employment and, in a parallel manner, for the past two decades of de-industrialization.
Such a scenario would hardly have brought us strong unions, a 'democratic class struggle' and declining class-correlates. In Germany, Sweden, and the United States, manufacturing or total employment expansion more than compensated for de-ruralization plus labour force growth. But where there was a notable manufacturing job deficit, as in France and subsequently in Italy, there was also less of a democratic class struggle in Lipset's terms. Indeed, these were the very same polities that social scientists diagnosed as 'exceptional', stubbornly 'ideological', 'oppositional', and polarized (Dahl, 1966; Blackmer and Tarrow, 1975; Crouch and Pizzorno, 1978; Lange, Ross, and Vanicelli, 1982).
