- A. R. Hochschild’s investigation into the gendered division of housework in the US during the 1980’s established the term ‘The Second Shift’ within the sociological scientific field and beyond, as a way of describing the housework done at home, mostly by women, in addition to the paid working day.

By analysing housework division using Complex Samples General Linear Model regression analysis, significant differences based on household members’ location in the class structure theorized by E. O. Wright are found. This analysis demonstrates that among men living with working class... (More)
- A. R. Hochschild’s investigation into the gendered division of housework in the US during the 1980’s established the term ‘The Second Shift’ within the sociological scientific field and beyond, as a way of describing the housework done at home, mostly by women, in addition to the paid working day. This Bachelor’s thesis examines the relationship between the gendered division of household labour in European dual-earner couples and household members’ class. By analysing housework division using Complex Samples General Linear Model regression analysis, significant differences based on household members’ location in the class structure theorized by E. O. Wright are found. This analysis demonstrates that among men living with working class women, men owning means of production tend to do smaller shares of housework. Conversely, women owning means of production living with working class men tend to do larger shares of housework in comparison to other women living with working class men. Significant differences in household labour division based on relative location in class structure remains when household members’ income and education levels are accounted for, suggesting that status and authority aspects beyond income and education also play an important role in determining household labour division. Other noteworthy findings are that whether women have ever been living with children or not in their household has a greater impact on their housework share than whether they presently have children living in their household or not, regardless of those children’s age.
