The Division of Task Responsibility in U.S. Households: Longitudinal Adjustments to Change Social Forces 64,3 (March 1986): 689-701. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2578819 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: University of North Carolina Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Earnings, Wives; Family Structure; Household Demand; Household Models; Wives, Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from the NLS of Young and Mature Women are used to test both static and dynamic models of the division of household task responsibility. Static results provide weak support for the time availability and the power/earnings perspectives. Changes in wife's hours worked or earnings over a 2- or 3-year period led to adjustments in task division, although the unequal "starting point" for that division challenges the economists' view of its rationality. |
