Sažetak:This article examines how gender ideologies differentially inform men and women's work-life courses in the fishing economy of southern India.

These are then used to illustrate how gender creates different patterns of paid work for men and women throughout their life courses and to analyze how men and women formulate livelihood strategies differently as a result.
