Time Used for Household Work: A Study of School-Age Children from Single-Parent, Two-Parent, One-Earner, and Two-Earner Families.

Peters, Jeanne M.; Haldeman, Virginia A.

Journal of Family Issues, v8 n2 p212-25 Jun 1987

Compared the time-use in household work of school-age children in single-parent/one-earner, two-parent/one-earner, and two-parent/two earner households (N=170). Children in two-parent families were found to spend less actual and relative amounts of time on all household work than children in single-parent families. (Author/ABL)
