Sociology - Families and households

Domestic division of labour

Parsons: instrumental and expressive roles
Men and women have biologically suited roles that are functional for society:
Expressive role - women = homemaker (cooking, cleaning, looking after children)
Instrumental role - men = breadwinner (paid work, earning money for the family)

Bott: segregated conjugal roles
Segregated conjugal roles - division of labour between men and women, couples spend
leisure time separately
Joint conjugal roles - couples share domestic tasks and leisure time

Willmot and young:
There are symmetrical families as a result of increased joint conjugal roles

Are couples more equal?
March of progress - the ‘new man’ means couple have an equal share of housework
and childcare

Dual burden - women now do paid work and domestic work (feri and smith)

Triple shift - women not only carry the dual burden of paid and domestic work, but also
do the emotional work (duncombe and marsden)

Decision making
Material explanation - men have more power in decision making because they earn
the/more money
Cultural explanation - gender role socialisation instils the view that men are the primary
decision makers

Domestic abuse
Dobash and dobash:
Marriage and the nuclear family is the key institutuion
