It focuses on how teleworking from home affects men's and women's ability to make use of spatial resources, including layout, dedicated space, and location, in the creation of home workspaces. Drawing on a national survey conducted in Japan during the COVID‐19 pandemic, this…

  • Household Labor during the First and Second Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Are Men Doing More Household Labor

    Open AccessManami Yanagida, Minoru YAGISHITA et al.ARTICLEKazoku syakaigaku kenkyu2023

    2020年に始まった日本における新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大により,働き方や生活に大きな変化が生じ,先行研究からは男性の家事遂行が増加したことが示されている.本稿は,働き方とライフスタイルの変化に関する全国調査および同調査のオンライン特別調査を用い,コロナ禍で増加した男性の家事遂行が定着したのかを検討した.また,補完的に男女の家事頻度に労働時間・通勤時間・同居子が与える影響がコロナ禍1年目と2年目で異なるかを分析した.結果から,コロナ禍1年目で男女ともに家事頻度が増加したが,2年目では男性のみ減少し,男性の家事頻度の増加傾向は持続していないことが示された.またコロナ禍1年目でのみ労働時間と家事頻度との関連がみられたが影響は小さい.加えて,同居子がいることで男性で家事頻度がコロナ禍1年目のみ増加したが,女性ではいずれの年も影響がみられなかった

  • Never-Married Employed Men's Gender Beliefs and Ambivalence Toward Matrimony in Japan

    Open AccessKumiko Nemoto, Makiko Fuwa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2013Cited by: 10References: 23

    Based on 25 interviews with educated and employed never-married men in Japan, this article examines how the diminished social norm to marry by a certain age, never-married men's beliefs regarding gender in marriage, and the value these men place on individual autonomy all contribute to a trend in late marriage. We argue that the diminished social pressure to marry and the changing age norm do further men's ambivalence toward marriage by allowing …

  • Macro-level Gender Inequality and the Division of Household Labor in 22 Countries

    Open AccessMakiko FuwaARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review2004Cited by: 341References: 37

    While most previous studies focus on the effects of individuals' and couples' characteristics on the division of housework, this study argues that macro-level factors are equally important in the dynamics of housework distribution between spouses. Data from the 1994 International Social Survey Programme is used to examine whether macro-level gender inequality limits the effect of individual-level variables (relative resources, time availability, …
