Principal investigator Michael Roof notes a January 15 1959 census showing 20 million more adult women than men in the USSR. He says this gap drives social and economic policy to maximize female labor across professions, with women comprising most physicians and many educators and economists, and significant shares in industry and farming. The study examines effects on family life and child rearing.
