Gender, Labor, and Family Dynamics Family Dynamics and Relationships Work-Family Balance Challenges

Abstract

Three main theoretical frameworks are used to explain the division of household labor: time availability, relative resources, and gender ideology. Examining 162 regression equations from 62 articles published from 1975 to 2012, we examine whether there has been a change in the likelihood that the three theoretical frameworks find empirical support over time. We find no evidence to suggest that there has been a declining significance of the three theories over time, as some family scholars recently have claimed.
