abstract: 'One of the most pressing issues contributing to the persistence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender inequality is the gendered division of domestic labour. Despite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their entry into paid employment, women still carry out more domestic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work than men, limiting their ability to act on an equal footing within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the workplace. This qualitative research adds to the ongoing debate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concerning the reasons for the persistence of the gendered nature of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
domestic work, by comparing working women who earn more, those who earn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
around the same and those who earn less than their male partners, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well as examining women''s absolute incomes. On average, men whose
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
partners earn more than they do carry out more housework than other men,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
although women in these partnerships still do more. However, these women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
actively contest their male partner''s lack of input, simultaneously
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
doing'' and undoing'' gender. The article also identifies class
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in the sharing'' of domestic work.'
