Treas, Judith; Tai, Tsui-o – Journal of Family Issues, 2012

Relative resource theories of household bargaining inform analyses of who does the housework, but their applicability to household management is unclear, if only because management responsibility may be…

Beaujot, Roderic; Liu, Jianye – Journal of Family Issues, 2005
Models of time use need to consider especially the reproductive and productive activities of women and men. For husband-wife families, the breadwinner, one-earner, or complementary-roles model has advantages in terms of efficiency or specialization and stability; however, it is a high-risk model for women and children. The alternate model has been…

Noonan, Mary C.; Estes, Sarah Beth; Glass, Jennifer L. – Journal of Family Issues, 2007
Using data from a U.S. midwestern sample of mothers and fathers, the authors examine whether using workplace flexibility policies alters time spent in housework and child care. They hypothesize that an individual's policy use will lead to more time in domestic labor and that his or her spouse's policy use will lead to less time in domestic labor.…
