Key:
Heheh-Sociologist Heheh-Important information

The March of Progress view

● Sullivan(2000)
- March of progress view
- Over time women are taking a smaller share of
domestic work, while men started to do more
- Increase in couples with an equal division of labour

● British Social attitudes(2013)
- Fall in the number of people who think it is a man’s job
to make money and the women's role to be the
homemaker
- 1948 → 45% of men and 41% of women
- 2012 → 13% of men and 12% of women

● British Social attitudes(2018)
- Fell even further in 2017 → down to just 8% of individuals

The feminist view

● British Social attitudes(2012)
- In a week, men only took 10 hours of their time to partake in ‘emotion work’,
compared to 23 hours by women
- Men do 8 hours of childcare compared to 13 hours of work by women
- 60% of women stated that they found the division of labour unjust

● Allan(1985)
- Women have to carry a dual burden(work life and home life both instrumental
and expressive roles)
- Women’s tasks such as cleaning and washing are less satisfying
