Determinants of Responsibility for Child Care Arrangements among Dual-Earner Couples
Human capital and social-structural explanations of men's and women's responsibility for child care arrangements are tested using data from young dual-earner couples. The analysis moves beyond the common focus on gender differences by seeking to explain variation among men and among women. We propose a social structural explanation that focuses on the importance of situational constraints in determining involvement in household labor. When the de…
