The effects of work history and timing of marriage on the division of household labor: a life-course perspective

Article Abstract:

Work history and marital timing influences the amount of time spent by husbands and wives in household work. The National Survey of Families and Households shows that the timing of the current jobs and employment history strongly affects the time spent in household activities by first married couples. In families where the wives go out to work, the husbands do the housework which is generally meant for the women and vice versa. Women's employment history has an effect on the type of work chosen which indirectly influences their contribution to the housework.
