Feelings About Housework
This exploratory study compared men’s and women’s feelings about carrying out unpaid tasks at home, and considered whether or not these feelings differed markedly from feelings associated with paid employment. While there have been studies of women’s satisfaction with unpaid work, few researchers have sought to compare these findings with the satisfaction men find in unpaid work. Data collected in 1998 from 66 women and 62 men resident in Victori…
Men and Women’s Power Relationships and the Persisting Inequitable Division of Housework
This paper examines two neglected issues: the attempts of wives to exercise power by getting their husbands to do more housework, and the degree of success they experience. The data for the study were collected in 1998 from 66 women resident in Victoria. Although all the wives were engaged in paid work, they were contributing more than two thirds of the total time given to housework. It was predicted that women would be reluctant to ask their hus…
Men’s Share of Child Care
Traditionally, caring for children has been principally women’s work. The claim is frequently heard that men, especially younger men living in the major cities, are increasingly sharing this load equally with their wives. It is argued that for this claim to be proven, it is necessary to show that men not only assist but share responsibility for most of the more demanding tasks. When the findings from a study of a Victorian community (married coup…
Attempting to Explain Women’s Perceptions of the Fairness of the Division of Housework
This article attempts to explain why the great majority of women say the division of housework is fair even though they are usually bearing a disproportionate share of that work. Data for the study were collected from two sets of Melbourne women who expressed opposite views on the fairness of the division of housework in their marriages. Yet, the unpaid workloads of both the women who said the division was fair and those who said it was unfair we…
Increasing the Workload of the Overloaded Housewife
This article shows that although wives are usually bearing an inordinate share of a household’s unpaid workload, a substantial minority of husbands request or demand wives perform additional tasks, or carry out those they are already performing more frequently or in a more thorough way. Quantitative and qualitative data for the study were collected from a quota sample of 114 female and 80 male Melbourne residents selected from 125 households. The…
