Couple Specialization in Multiple Equilibria
We address the issue of men’s lagged adaptation to the ongoing revolution of women’s roles. This article proposes a multiple equilibrium approach and shows how modes of couple specialization cluster around qualitatively distinct logics. We identify a traditional, egalitarian, and ‘unstable’ equilibrium. Theory posits that stable equilibria rest on strong normative abidance, and yield more equitable outcomes. In contrast, unstable equilibria are l…
Paid and unpaid work in Denmark – Towards gender equity
Since the 1960s women in most countries have increased the time they spend in the labour market, while little change has been seen in their time spent on unpaid household work. Men, however, have decreased their labour market participation and increased their time used on unpaid household work. This trend also holds true for Denmark, albeit reduced by standardization for the demographic distribution. The most robust result is a continued converge…
Family Investment in Children--A Reply to Kenneth Macdonald
This letter is a reply to the European Sociological Review article ‘Family Investments in Children: What the Interactions and the Data Do Not Say’ by Kenneth Macdonald (doi: 10.1093/esr/jcr021) In our article, ‘Family Investments in Children—Productivities, Preferences, and Parental Child Care’ (European Sociological Review 2010, 27, 43–55), the aim is to show that preferences provide a better explanation of caring decisions than do market produc…

Family Investments in Children--Productivities, Preferences, and Parental Child Care
We study the interplay of preferences and market productivities on parenting, and show that preferences, when identified, provide a better explanation of caring decisions than has, so far, been demonstrated in the literature. We qualify the standard finding that parental education is a key determinant of care by showing important interaction effects with marital homogamy. We find that homogamy has opposite effects on child care and couple special…
Intra‐Household Specialization in Housework in the United States and Denmark
Objective. Focusing on housework activities, we hypothesize that the degree of specialization is influenced by economic notions of efficiency, as well as by time constraints and egalitarian values. Methods. Employing time‐use data on U.S. and Danish couples, we construct a composite index measure of intra‐household specialization. We analyze the comparability of reported time use and our specialization index using different types of data, and the…
