Briefly explain how divisions of labor among married couples may contribute to a stall the gender revolution.
What will be an ideal response?
As more women entered previously male-dominated fields of work and study, their shifts towards time spent outside the home were not matched by equal shifts in men’s time spent inside the home. Thus women’s increasing gains plateaued as their workplace advancement was limited by the realities of housework and childcare that fell largely on their shoulders. As a result, the gender revolution that characterized the decades of the 60s to the 80s stalled in the beginning of the 90s.
