Sexe et usage de l'espace ? L'influence de la répartition des rôles au sein du ménage

Sex and space use: the mediation of role distribution in the households. Authors show by means of two surveys they processed, the complexity of the relationship between gender différenciation and space use. They analyse this relationship with the mediation of role distribution in the household. Factors such as matrimonial status of household (couple or mother alone), employment status of woman (working or not working), children and urban space, seem to be far more discriminating than only gender difference between men and women. Responsibility of household activities (children and shopping) is always for women, but the strongest difference in activity participation and space use is at first between both working men and women on the one hand and non-working women on the other hand, and secondly between working men and working women
