 Identified a pattern of segregated roles in Bethnal Green.  Men went to work and spent leisure time at the pub  Women stayed at home and spent time with female relatives.  They also identified the modified extended family

WHO USUALLY DOES THE HOUSEWORK?

MULTI-TASKING

 They reject the march of progress view  Little has really changed in terms of gender roles in the family

Boulton (1983)  Boulton studied 50 young married mothers in London, none of them had full-time jobs.  Boulton claimed that men will help out with certain bits of childcare such as nappy changing although women still have primary responsibility for the children.

Boulton’s study revealed the following: Amount of Help From Husband% Extensive help with childcare18% Moderate help with childcare36% Minimal help with childcare46% What conclusions can be drawn from this data?

 Support previous findings- women still doing most domestic tasks.  But some evidence of a slight change in attitude of younger men.  However women are still doing the bulk of household chores …….

 In the 19th century the rise of industrialisation saw women gradually excluded from paid work  the housewife role came about and remains women’s primary role  When they do work women are concentrated in low paid ‘caring’ type jobs- an extension of the housewife role.

 ¾ of married and cohabiting women are economically active  But is the new man doing his bit of the housework..  Or are women just shouldering a double burden

 Good quality childcare is essential to working mums  This is not always available to working class families so women stay trapped in low paid part time jobs  Middle class couples often pay for nannies/cleaners etc

 Women are more likely to do jobs which are about managing emotions  Teaching  Nursing  This has been applied to the family

‘Triple shift’

 Lesbian couples have much more symmetrical relationships  They don’t have to follow ‘gender scripts’  Supports radical feminist view that heterosexual relationships are inevitably patriarchal
