In an effort to better understand how women and men divide paid and unpaid labor in the family, researchers have begun to move beyond individual‐level explanations toward structural‐level explanations. In this article, I review empirical research that conceptualizes social structure as the availability of work‐family policies, at both the national and the employer level. The article has three sections. First, I provide an overview of the ways in which macrolevel, work‐family policies are theorized to shape the gendered division of labor in the home. Next, I review the theory and empirical research associated with each specific work‐family policy. I conclude with suggestions for future research in this area
