Sharing of Household Tasks by Employed Married CouplesGentry, Mary Anne 12 1900 (has links)
The problem of this study was to determine if the sex role identification, age, education, and income of employed married couples were related to their perception of who should and does perform household tasks. The forty-five couples were volunteers from organizations for working women. Each spouse completed a Bem Sex Role Inventory and a Household Task Inventory. Using Chi-square and t-tests no significant differences were found between sex role identification, education level, income level, and the sharing of household tasks. When a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used, age and sharing of household tasks were found to have an inverse relationship with the young sharing more tasks. The study concluded that couples expect household tasks to be shared but females tend to perform the traditional feminine tasks and males the traditional masculine tasks.

The Effects of Marital Conflict and Marital Environment on Change in Marital StatusHamilton, Kristen Auberry 01 January 2013 (has links)
This study examined how marital conflict and marital environment contribute to change in marital status over time; while controlling for gender and other demographic characteristics. The current study used all three waves, 1987-1988, 1992-1994, 2001-2002, of the nationally representative dataset National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). Four longitudinal models were tested using path analysis and the Bayesian estimation technique. Findings indicate there is no effect of marital conflict on change in marital status when demographic and marital environment variables are in the model. Age has the strongest direct and indirect effects. An increase in number of times married consistently increases the chance of a change in marital status. Variables measuring the marital environment—with the exception of the effects of unfairness of chores and spending money in the male models—primarily, contribute direct and mediating effects on the two measures of marital conflict. Overall, when considering all models, the variable with the strongest direct and indirect effects, is age of the respondent. This finding indicates that the dominate influence on marital environment and marital conflict, and, ultimately, change in marital status, is that of age as a proxy for developmental change over the lifecycle.

MAXIMIZING BENEFITS AND MINIMIZING IMPACTS: DUAL-EARNER COUPLES’ DIVISION OF HOUSEHOLD LABORCarlson, Matthew W 01 January 2013 (has links)
Several socio-structural theoretical approaches attempt to explain the gendered division of household labor, but the dyadic process of dividing labor has gone largely unexplored. Therefore, a grounded theory approach was taken with 20 dual-earner married couples to uncover the process of dividing household labor between spouses. The theory that emerged indicated that couples seek to maximize benefits in their distribution of labor, and do so by dividing tasks according to personal preferences and proficiencies. When a household task goes unclaimed by both spouses’ preferences and proficiencies, containment and outsourcing are the strategies employed to minimize the impact of the unclaimed task. The emergent theory can be used by researchers to illuminate the dyadic process of division of household labor in ways that other theories are not able. The theory can also be used by educators to prepare premarital couples for future division of household labor practices as well as by therapists who can identify problematic patterns within clients’ division of household labor process.

Religiosität und häusliche ArbeitsteilungMühler, Kurt 22 March 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Daraus leitet sich folgende Forschungsfrage ab: Hat die Intensität der religiösen Überzeugung einer Person Einfluss auf eine ungleiche Arbeitsteilung im Haushalt? Die Basishypothese dieses Aufsatzes besteht in Folgendem: Je religiöser sich eine befragte Person einschätzt, desto häufiger werden in einem partnerschaftlichen Haushalt als weiblich konnotierte Haushaltstätigkeiten von der Ehefrau bzw. Lebenspartnerin ausgeführt. Auf die methodischen Implikationen wird später ausführlich eingegangen. Aus der Basishypothese werden nun empirisch prüfbare Hypothesen gebildet, die weiterführend eine Grundlage für die Prüfung von Interaktionseffekten bilden. Damit soll herausgefunden werden, in welchem Umfang Religiosität mental vernetzt ist, also nachweisbare Wirkungen moderiert und damit als eine zentrale Variable in der Verarbeitung sozialer Bedingungen angesehen werden kann.

Kvinnliga arbetstagare i sjuk- och äldrevården - faktorer som kan påverka graden av upplevd stress utanför arbetstidBergström, Hanna, Bäck, Annika January 2007 (has links)
The aim of this study was to examine the relations between women’s perceived stress off the job (dependent variable), responsability for household chores, emotional support, number of children living at home, neuroticism and age (independent variables). Comparisons between the present sample and two independent samples from previous research were made with regard to perceived stress and neuroticism. The sample of this study consisted of 186 women working in the fields of health care and geriatric care. The results showed that perceived stress correlated positively with neuroticism and number of children and negatively with emotional support, though the effectsizes for number of children and emotional support were fairly small. Neuroticism was the strongest predictor for perceived stress. Implemented comparisons showed that the present sample reported significantly higher levels of perceived stress and neuroticism than the two independent samples. Keywords: women, perceived stress off the job, responsability for household chores, emotional support, number of children, neuroticism, age.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-21 / A elaboração deste estudo foi orientada pelo objetivo de investigar quem são os sujeitos que abandonaram funções remuneradas no mercado de trabalho para o exercício da profissão do lar, analisando as principais razões para tal atitude e suas implicações para as questões de gênero, domésticas e familiares. Metodologicamente, o estudo caracteriza-se como descritivoexploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado utilizando o método história oral temática. Para a seleção dos sujeitos, utilizou-se a técnica bola de neve, sendo o cenário da investigação limitado, inicialmente, à cidade gaúcha de Santana do Livramento-Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com treze profissionais do lar, sendo nove mulheres e quatro homens, entre os meses de agosto e outubro de 2017, com duração média de 1h cada. Os dados foram examinados através da análise textual discursiva. Os resultados revelam que as razões pelas quais os entrevistados abandonaram permanente ou temporariamente o mercado de trabalho, classificadas em ordem de importância decrescente, foram: filhos pequenos, desemprego, familiar idoso e/ou doente, marido, aborrecimentos no emprego, mudança de cidade, sentimento de saudade da família, dupla jornada de trabalho e elevado custo de vida na capital. Essas razões se distinguem entre os entrevistados pela idade, pelas situações sociais e conjugais, pelo contexto econômico, pela escolaridade e pelas relações de trabalho. Ao desagregar as principais razões por imposição/escolha e por gênero, verificou-se o seguinte: mulheres (imposição: desemprego, marido; escolha: maternidade, filhos pequenos), homens (imposição: desemprego; escolha: mudança de cidade). Esses resultados revelam que os homens e as mulheres entrevistadas abandonaram o mercado de trabalho por razões completamente distintas, possuindo, apenas, como razão comum o desemprego. Constatou-se que os homens e as mulheres entrevistadas realizam os mesmos afazeres domésticos, no entanto, no âmbito doméstico e familiar, elas enfrentam dificuldade em compartilhar esses afazeres com seus maridos e/ou com seus filhos do sexo masculino. Os afazeres domésticos consomem muita energia e grande parte do tempo dos entrevistados, sendo maior para elas (4,6 horas diárias; 32,2 horas semanais) do que para eles (3,6 horas diárias; 25,2 horas semanais), e caracterizam-se pela fragmentação, multiplicidade e simultaneidade. Além do sexo, a cor, a escolaridade, o rendimento mensal familiar, o tipo de arranjo familiar, o número e a idade dos filhos e a presença de aparelhos eletrodomésticos constituem variáveis que impactam diretamente sobre a distribuição do tempo dedicado à realização de afazeres domésticos na esfera privada, revelando desigualdades de gênero. O trabalho doméstico é percebido pelos entrevistados, especialmente mulheres, como uma atividade não remunerada, invisível e desvalorizada na esfera privada, tanto pela família quanto pela sociedade. As razões para isso estão profundamente relacionadas com o papel da mulher fundamentado na sociedade patriarcal e com a noção de trabalho elaborada pelo sistema capitalista. É importante, e por isso se faz necessário, pensar em formas de valorizar o trabalho doméstico não remunerado na sociedade brasileira, sendo uma delas a contabilização dos afazeres domésticos no Produto Interno Bruto, por meio da construção de contas-satélites. Enquanto as pesquisas nacionais oficiais continuarem adotando uma visão de trabalho capitalista, o trabalho doméstico e quem o realiza, principalmente as mulheres, continuarão desvalorizados e invisíveis nas esferas privada e social. / The purpose of this study was to investigate who are the subjects who left paid jobs in the labor market in order to become household professionals, by analyzing the main reasons for such an attitude and its implications for gender, domestic and family issues. Methodologically, this study is characterized as descriptive-exploratory, with a qualitative approach, and it is carried out by using the thematic oral history method. In order to select its subjects, this study used the snowball sampling, and the research scenario was initially limited to the city of Santana do Livramento, Brazil. Data were collected between the months of August and October 2017, through semi-structured interviews, with an average duration of 1 hour each, carried out with thirteen household professionals, of whom nine were women, and four were men. Data were examined through discursive textual analysis. Classified in order of decreasing importance, the results reveal that the reasons why the interviewees abandoned permanently or temporarily the labor market were: small children, unemployment, elderly and/or ill relative, husband, job hassle, city changing, the feeling of homesickness, doubled working hours and the high cost of living in the capital. These reasons differ among the interviewees by age, by social and marital situations, by the economic context, by levels of education and by the working relationships. By disaggregating the main reasons as imposition/choice and by gender, the following information were observed: women (imposition: unemployment, husband; choice: maternity, small children), men (imposition: unemployment; choice: city change). These results reveal that the men and women interviewed left the labor market because of completely different reasons – only having unemployment as a common feature. It was found that the men and the women interviewed execute the same household chores, however, in the domestic and familiar spheres, them (the women) face more difficulties in sharing these chores with their husbands and/or with their male children. Household chores consume a great deal energy and a great part of the time of the interviewees – being greater for the women (4.6 hours a day, 32.2 hours a week) than for the men (3.6 hours a day, 25.2 hours a week) and are characterized by fragmentation, multiplicity and simultaneity. Beyond the gender, color, level of education, the family monthly income, the family type of arrangement, the age and the number of children and the presence of household appliances consist in variables that directly affect the distribution of time dedicated to do the household chores in the private sphere, revealing gender inequalities. Domestic work is perceived, by the interviewees, especially the women, as an unpaid, invisible and devalued activity of the private sphere, both by their families and by society. The reasons for this situation are deeply related to the role played by the woman, which is based on a patriarchal society and on the notion of work elaborated by the capitalist system. It is important, therefore, to think about ways of valuing the unpaid household chores in the Brazilian society, one of which is the accounting of domestic chores in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through the construction of satellite accounts. As long as official national research continues to adopt a capitalist vision of work, the domestic work, and whoever does it, especially women, will remain devalued and invisible in the private and in the social spheres.

Distansarbetets påverkan på privatliv och arbetsliv ur ett könsperspektiv : En kvalitativ studie om hur relationen mellan privatliv och arbetsliv påverkas av distansarbete / ‘The remote working impact on private life and working life from a gender perspective : A qualitative study on how the relationship between private life and working life is affected by remote workHansson, Matilda, Efendic, Elma January 2023 (has links)
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur relationen mellan privatliv och arbetsliv skiljer sig mellan män och kvinnor som distansarbetar på Halmstad Kommun. Syftet är även att få en tydlig bild av hur distansarbete skiljer sig mellan män och kvinnor och om det påverkar arbetsdelningen i hemmer utifrån en könsrelation. Studiens resultat har samlats in genom åtta kvalitativa intervjuer med kvinnor och män vars svar har analyserats med hjälp av Yvonne Hirdmans teori om genussystemet och Sue Campbell Clarks gränsteori. I slutsatserna påvisas det att de intervjuade kvinnorna och männen anser att relationen mellan privatliv och arbetsliv påverkas av distansarbete. Kvinnorna som intervjuats anser att den typiska könsfördelningen vad gäller arbetsdelningen i hemmer blir mer tydlig vid distansarbete. Männen som intervjuats anser att det har ett ökat ansvar gällande hemarbete när de distansarbetar. / The study aims to investigate how the relationship between private life and working life differs between men and women who work remotely in Halmstad municipality. The aim is also to get a clearer picture of how remote work differs between men and women and if it affects the division of labor in the home based on a gender relationship. The results of the study have been collected through eight qualitative interviews with women and men whose answers have been analyzed using Yvonne Hirdman’s theory of the gender system and Sue Campbell Clark’s Work/Family border theory. In the conclusions, it is stated that the interviewed women and men believe that the relationship between private life and working life is affected by remote work. The women who were interviewed believe that the typical gender distribution in terms of the division of labor in the home becomes clearer when working remotely. The men interviewed believe they have an increased responsibility regarding household chores when they work remotely.
