                          1. Industrialisation and the rise of factory production in the 19th century led to the seperation of paid work from the home
                            1. Women had intially been part of the labour force, they were gradually excluded from the workplace to the home becoming the homemaker
                              1. This enforced women's subordination and economic dependence on men. The housewife role was socially constructed.
                                1. Rather than being women's "natural role" as parsons claims
                                  1. Oakley's view, eve though the 20th century saw an increase in the number of working married women, the housewife role is still the womans primary role
                          2. The impact of paid work

                                1. Wives who worked part time did 82% of the housework where as wives who worked full time did 73% of the housework
                                  1. the longer wives had been in paid work the more housework the husband did
                                    1. Couples who's parents had a more equal relationship were more likely to share housework between themselves
                                      1. Social values are adapting to the fact that women are now working full time More men are doing housework as well as take responsibility for other task
                              2. Sullivan analysis of nationally representative data collected in 1975, 1987, 1997 found a trend towards greater equality
                                1. As men did more domestic labour
