The Time Crunch: Wife's Employment and Family Work.

Fox, Karen D.; Nickols, Sharon Y.

Journal of Family Issues, v4 n1 p61-82 Mar 1983

Examined the relationship between household work and employment in families (N=206). Employment of the wife was significantly related to her time in housework, but not her husband's or children's time contributions to household tasks. A lessening of the time crunch was indicated compared with time budgets collected in the 1960s. (Author/JAC)
