Sex Role Orientation, Wife's Employment, and the Division of Household Labor.

Perlmutter, Jane Clarkson; Wampler, Karen Smith

Home Economics Research Journal, v13 n3 p237-45 Mar 1985

This study of 75 families with at least one preschool child examined the effects of sex-role orientation and wife's employment status on the division of housework and child care and husband and wife's satisfaction with that division. Results indicate that where wives work outside the home, husbands and wives share child care and housework more. (Author/CT)
