Gender Divisions of Paid and Unpaid Work in Contemporary UK Couples
利用英国家庭纵向研究数据,描述当代英国伴侣如何分工各类工作,发现共享的平等主义观念是实现工作性别平等的必要条件,但教育差异与性别分工的关系未得到交互分析支持。
This article uses data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study to describe how contemporary British couples divide a range of work types. Our findings support the hypothesis, suggested by previous authors, that a shared egalitarian ideology is required for gender equality in divisions of work. In response to bargaining theories, the article also hypothesises that differentials in educational attainment within couples are more strongly associated with gender divisions of work when a couple’s gender ideology is in conflict. Interaction analysis does not support this hypothesis.
