The Domestic Divison of Labour
Talcott Parsons
- In the traditional nuclear family, the roles of husband and wife are segregated into instrumental and expressive roles.
- This is biological and is beneficially for men and women
Criticisms:
Young and Willmott
- Men now take on a greater share of domestic tasks
Feminists
- It is not biological and onnly benefits men
