Gender inequity in the division of labor: from parents to children

Most studies of household labor have focused on the division of labor between husbands and wives, its determinants and consequences for men and women. Yet, the gender equity of the division of labor between husband and wife may also have consequences for other household members: the children. Another gap in the literature of domestic labor, concerns the participation of children in family chores. Although children do have a significant contribution in family chores, surprisingly little research has been done on their gender division of labor. This study examines if there is a congruence between the gender equity in the housework allocation of parents and that of their children. The analysis shows that the role-behaviour of parents concerning the division of labor influences the way their children divide chores along gender lines. There is an intergenerational transfer of gender inequity in the division of labor.
