Published in 1999. Housework and child care are a major part of
most peoples lives. The growth of part time work amongst women is
just one example of the way our economy is structured to
accommodate this fact. Yet very little research has been done on
this subject in Britain and what little has been done tends to be
small scale and impressionistic. This book examines how couples
divide their time between domestic and paid work and the effect
that tensions between the two can have. It provides valuable
evidence on how domestic work is organized and why, when women are
more likely to be employed than not, men have not increased their
share of domestic work. Representative evidence is combined with
previous small scale research to show how private troubles are
related to massive social and economic changes in British society.
Evidence of this sort has never been presented before in the
British context.
