Contentious Civic Spheres and Gender Inequality
Gender inequality persists in civic and political arenas. Historically, school volunteer positions have served as a bridge to encourage women’s mobility into politics, specifically through school board elections. This school board service can facilitate women’s advancement into higher political office. However, some school boards have recently experienced high levels of public attention, activism, and conflict around school policies. Further, it …
Time, Motion, Discipline
In this paper, we read college course syllabi as material objects that shed light on larger issues, specifically conflict between faculty and students. We explore the commodification of 'college labor' where degreed labor and credit hours are produced. Under these conditions, the syllabus becomes a labor contract detailing faculty expectations of students. Rather than merely introducing the course subject matter or providing only basic informatio…

Who Does what and How Much do They do? Gender and Total Work Time
It is clear that among dual-earner couples wives typically spend less time in paid labor and more time on housework than husbands, although there have been few studies comparing women's and men's total workloads. In this paper we examine the total workloads of women and men in dual-career marriages and assess the distribution of time between paid work and housework. Our findings indicate that, even among couples where both husband and wife work w…

The Division of Household Labor
In this chapter we review research on the division of household labor and its consequences. The review summarizes research focused on issues of measurement, including research on methods of gathering data on housework time and time use in general and discussions of various ways to operationalize the division of household labor. Some attention is paid to historical and theoretical work on housework and women's responsibility for it in particular, …
Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Perceptions of Fairness
In this article we examine the determinants of Black, Hispanic, and Anglo women's and men's views of the fairness of the division of housework. Using the 1987-1988 National Survey of Families and Households, we find that men's proportional share of time spent on female-typed tasks affects both women's and men's views of how fairly housework is divided, although the effect is stronger for women. The frequency of arguments about housework also is p…
A comparison of women's and men's leisure time
In this article women's and men's leisure time were examined using the 1981 Study of Time Use (Juster, Hill, Stafford, & Parsons, 1983). Gender differences in total leisure time, types of leisure activities, and the effects of household labor time and paid labor time on women's and men's leisure time were assessed. Although there were few significant differences in women's and men's leisure time expenditures, some differences in the determinants …

Does Marital Status Make a Difference
In this article, a comparison is made between the time that cohabiting and married women and men spend doing housework, to determine whether there are differences between them and to isolate the sources of those differences. Differences in cohabiting and married women's and men's household labor time are interpreted in light of the way that marital status may affect how gender is accomplished. Using the National Survey of Families and Households,…

The Distribution of Household Tasks
This article examines the relationship between wives' employment status and their own and their husbands' time spent on specific household tasks. Using Multiple Classification Analysis, we compared the adjusted mean time that women and men spend in a variety of specific household tasks. The findings showed that gender roles are somewhat more egalitarian in households where women are employed than can be discerned from analyses of only total house…
Household Labor Time and the Gender Gap in Earnings
In this article, we examine the effects of time spent in household labor on the gender gap in earnings. We identify that part of the gender gap in earnings directly attributable to women's greater household labor time. After controlling for years of work experience, hours worked per week, occupation, industry, union membership, and education, we find that household labor time can directly account for 8.2 percent of the gender gap in earnings. In …
An Examination of Household Labor Time as a Factor in Composition and Treatment Effects on the Male-Female Wage Gap
This article examines the effects of time spent on household labor on the earnings of women and men. Using 1981 data from a sample of families, we assess the effects of women's greater household labor time on their earnings after controlling for other characteristics. After isolating the amount in earnings explained by differences in the characteristics of men and women (excluding time spent in household labor), we find that time spent on househo…
An Estimation of the Effects of Women's Work on Available Leisure Time
In this article we examine the leisure time expenditures of married women in the paid labor force. Our analysis delineates two categories of leisure activities (active and passive) that are differentially affected by women's work. Using the 1981 Time Use Study (Juster, Hill, Stafford, and Parsons, 1983), we estimate a path model of the amount of leisure time available to married women showing the effects of time spent in paid labor, age, number o…
Variations in Divorce Rates by Community Size
This study tests the hypothesis that level of social integration may account for the correlation between community size and marital dissolution. Using data from the [U.S.] General Social Surveys we find a strong correlation between the residential mobility rate and a measure of marital dissolution from which the effects of family background religious background socioeconomic background and years of exposure to the divorce risk have been removed..…
