This cross-national analysis examines whether wives' material resources and family structure resources affect husbands' housework. Logistic regressions analyze data from four Southeast and East Asian countries at varying levels of capitalist development as well as from one late industrialized country (the United States). Resources embodied in employment, education, reproductive decision making, and childbearing are found to have no consistent effects on husbands' regular housework participation. These findings corroborate international studies on the division of family labor that call for more cultural and ideological examinations of housework rather than resource and economic exchange approaches
