abstract: 'This study employs a gendered relative resource approach to examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether the importance of relative resources varies by couples''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household income in shaping changes in the gender division of labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after first birth. Scholarship has long argued that the gender division
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of labour within different-sex couples is influenced by partners''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative resources. However, couples face class-based constraints that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
may alter the relevance of relative resources in shaping changes in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender divisions of labour following the transition to parenthood. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study compares couples'' paid work and housework before and up to four
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years after first birth, using 28 waves of the British Household Panel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Survey and the UK Household Longitudinal Study (N = 1,606 couples). I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find that the effect of relative resources on changes in couple''s paid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work and housework behaviour after first birth varies substantially by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household income. Among higher-income couples, women''s paid work and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
housework time changes less among those with high relative earnings and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more among those with low relative earnings, while men''s time allocation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
varies little after first birth. In contrast, among low-income couples,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s paid work time and share decreases most after first among female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breadwinners while their male partners'' paid work time increases
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
substantially. These findings reflect the greater constraints that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-income parents face in reconciling work and family and highlight the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
need for greater attention to class interactions in the process of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender specialization in both research and work-family policy.'
