No exit for wives: sexual division of labour and the cumulation of household demands

Abstract: Deux thèses opposées sont formuluées sur la division sexuelle du travail domestique: une ‘théorie d'associés en adaptation mutuelle’ et une ‘théorie de travail subordonné.’ Des budgets de temps de semaine et de fin de semaine de plusieurs centaines de couples mariés du Grand Vancouver sont analysés de façon à permettre un choix entre les deux thèses.
