A Study of Determinants of Husbands' Housework Time
남편의 가사노동 참여시간에 영향을 미치는 변인에 관한 연구
Abstract
This study investigated the factors influencing married men's time allocation in housework. A multidimentional theoritical approach employing the perspectives of time availability, relative resourse, sex-role ideology was employed to explain variations in husbands' participation in housework. In addition, the effects of several socio-demographic variables were investigated. Data for 226 cases were gathered from using structured qustionnaire and time diary. Results indicated that the sex-role ideology perspective was significantly supported, and the time availability perspective was partially supported. On the other hand, no significant evidence was found for the effect of relative resourse on husbands' housework. The age of husbands in socio-demographic variables had a significant effect on the amount of husbands' housework time.
