- Inequalities in domestic division labour:
- Domestic labour- Refers to unpaid houswork and childcare= Clear inequality between gender, No pay, no pensions, no holidays and unlimited working hours
-TOFNS 1997- Time spent on unpaid work was valued at the same average pay rate in PE
-European social survey 2010- Women in PE responsible for two-thirds of total time spent on housework
- British social survey 2008- 80% of women said they "always/ usually did the laundry"
-Elston's- Professional wives expected to take major responsibility for dealing with childcare arrangments and houswork
-Oakley- Disagrees with Young& Wilmott= Unconvincing evidence for symmertry
-Boulton- Surveys exaggerates how much childcare men do
-WHO BENEFITS: RF- Problem with patriarchy, MF- Contributing to reproduction of labour power& patriarchy. Women in PE are still primarily houswives, women who have to make sacrifices
