abstract: 'Why do couples in some countries pursue a more equal division of paid

  labor than in others? To answer this question, we use an exchange

  framework that simultaneously considers country and household level

  characteristics to explain working hour differences both within couples

  and between countries. Our multi-level analyses are based on a unique

  dataset that links data from the US and Europe with country-level

  information on public policies, cultural norms, and economic conditions.

  Our analyses show that working time differences between heterosexual

  partners are considerably smaller in countries with more progressive

  gender norms, less wage inequality between men and women, higher

  childcare coverage, and individualized taxation systems. This article

  makes an important contribution regarding gendered labor market

  inequalities by systematically linking the household to the country

  context.'
