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. 410 0$aStudies in social inequality. 606 $aSex role$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aSexual division of labor$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aHousekeeping$xSocial aspects$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSexual division of labor 615 0$aHousekeeping$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.3615 701 $aTreas$b Judith$0891744 701 $aDrobnic?$b Sonja$01056231 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457985703321 996 $aDividing the domestic$92490425 997 $aUNINA
