  1. Division of labour.

      1. Young and Willmott (1962): Men are now doing more domestic tasks and women are now becoming wage earners.

          2. Young and Wilmott (1973) The symmetrical family.
            1. 'March of progress' view on the history of the family. Roles are more similar.
              1. -Women now go out to work. -Men now help with housework and childcare. -Couples now spend more time together than separately.
                1. Feminists reject this view. Argue that men an women remain unequal.
                  1. Oakley (1974): Argues that their claims are exaggurated.
                    1. Men's 'help' could be simply taking the children for a walk.
                      1. She found that men would participate more in childcare as it's more fun.

                      3. Ward and Hetherington (1993): Men only do 'female' tasks when their partner were not around to do them.
