Concluding Thoughts on the Societal Context of Housework -- Index In Dividing the Domestic, leading international scholars roll up their sleeves to investigate how culture and country characteristics permeate our households and our private lives. The book introduces novel frameworks for understanding why the household remains a bastion of traditional gender relations—even when employed full-time, women everywhere still do most of the work around the house, and poor women spend more time on housework than affluent women. Education systems, tax codes, labor laws, public polices, and cultural beliefs about motherhood and marriage all make a difference. Any accounting of "who does what" needs to consider the complicity of trade unions, state arrangements for children's schooling, and new cultural prescriptions for a happy marriage. With its cross-national perspective, this pioneering volume speaks not only to sociologists concerned with gender and family, but also to those interested in scholarship on states, public policy, culture, and social inequality.Studies in social inequality.Sex roleCross-cultural studiesSexual division of laborCross-cultural studiesHousekeepingSocial aspectsCross-cultural studiesElectronic books.Sex roleSexual division of laborHousekeepingSocial aspects306.3615Treas Judith891744Drobnič Sonja1056231MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457985703321Dividing the domestic2490425UNINA
