roles and
symmetrical
families.
- symmetrical families - husband and wife roles
aren't indentical but now are more similar
- Women now go to work
- Men help more with
house work and childcare
- Couples spend their leisure time together

younger families,
geographically
and socially

- Evaluating
- the sharing of
childcare and
housework
within a family
has been a
subject of
controversy
and criticism
- much research
has been done
to assess
inequality
withing
marriage but
there is no
agreed idea on
how it can be
measured

- Young and
willmott
- Oakley
- A feminist view
of Housework
- they argue
little has
changed
and women
still do the
majority of
housework
and
childcare
- Ann Oakley has been one of
the most vocal critics of
young and willmott,
particularly the way they
conducted their research
- she believed that their research was based
upon one simple, badly designed question - ' do
you/ your husband help at least once a week
with any household jobs like washing up,
making beds, ironing, cooking or cleaning?'
- as oakley claimed that by Y and W standards a
symmetrical family could include a man who
simply took the bins out once a week.

- Oakley's research
- She studied 40 married women
who had 1 or more children
under 5, who were british and
aged between 20-30. half were
middle class, half working class
and all in London
- findings - greater equality in allocation of
domestic tasks between couples in the
middle class than in the working class, and
only a few marriages overall were
described as equals. in only 15% of cases
men had high participation in housework
- Improvements of the study
- Ask married men too
- Ask parents with children over 5
- Ask people of different ages
- Ask a
variety
of
classess
- Recent research in the 90s by
Warde and Hetherington found
that sex-typing of domestic tasks
remains strong.
- wives are 30 times more likely to have
been the last person to do the washing up
whereas husbands are only 4 times more
likely to be the last person to wash the car

- A feminist view
of Housework
- Impact of paid work
- 1970s women
where full time
housewives and
households today
have a 2nd income
from a wifes full or
part time week

a 'dual burden' of
paid work and
domestic labour
- A more equal
division of
domestic tasks
and joint
conjugal roles
with the
emergence of
a 'new man'
