Based on the article, I'd say that people who ascribe to the Inherited Obligation model would be more likely to hew closely to traditional gender-coded roles (he works, she stays home). Of course, financial circumstances might dictate otherwise, but if you are living in a community of family, there's always a grandmother or aunt to watch the kids. (And I'd also guess that the woman still does the majority of "domestic" work.)
The article talks about the circumstances that led to the development of Negotiated Commitment groups: when the kids grow up, they leave home -- which forces them to 1) be outside their family safety net, 2) make up a new "family" of friends where they are, and incidentally 3) meet and get to know people who aren't part of their family mindset. That's one of the big threats for someone who ascribes to the Inherited Obligation model -- the kids will go away and we'll "lose" them.
I come from a family that skews more IO, but I tend to live more NC -- I live in an urban area, my parents live in the country; I stay at home with my children, but I also work from home (freelance). Though I love my family, I often feel I share more interests and a more common outlook with my group of friends.
