Document Summary
In 1979- 1st time the majority of married women worked outside the home. Occupational segregation: tendency for men and women to be employed in different types of jobs. Blue collar /physical labor: more than 30% of men. Less than 6% of women: women tend to occupy lower-paying ranks. In 1965: women reported 32 hours/week vs men 4 hours/week. In 2013: women reported 18 hours/week vs men 10 hours/week: overall less housework technology. Imbalance exists regardless of employment status: more hours a person spends in paid labor, the more money they earn, the less household work they do. Lesbian couples share equally the most: gay male couples with children are more likely to have one parent at home than lesbians. 54% - both husband and wife: majority: two earner households. Egalitarian: characterized by equality: more egalitarian = greater relationship satisfaction, stability, perception of fairness plays an important role.
