Farm Women as Full-Time Partners: Some Evidence of Sharing Traditional Gender-Based Tasks
研究比较了传统农场家庭和视妻子为全职伴侣的农场家庭中夫妻在农场和家务决策及任务上的分工，发现全职伴侣组中妻子更多参与农场任务但未独立负责，丈夫也分担了家务。
The farm and home decision and task responsibilities of husbands and wives for two groups are examined: (1) five hundred ninety-two married male respondents who are husbands in traditional farm families including those with children under twenty-one and wives who work off the farm; and (2) forty married male respondents who consider their wives full-time partners, who indicate that their wives work equally hard on the farm, have no children under twenty-one at home, and do not have off-the-farm employment. For the 592-respondent group, the traditional gender-based division of farm and home decisions and tasks applied. For the full-time partners group, men continued to perform the traditional farm tasks, while wives shared to a greater extent in but did not have sole responsibility for farm decisions or tasks. The forty male respondents reported crossing over and sharing domestic tasks.
