Gender Pay Gap Persists in Household Chores, Study Finds.

A new study by Pew Research Center finds that even when wives earn about the same as their husbands or more, they still spend more time on housework and child care, while their husbands spend more time on paid work and leisure. The study also reveals that men spend more time on leisure activities than women in egalitarian marriages, while women spend more time on caregiving and housework. The study is based on three data sources and highlights the unbalanced division of time between paid work and home life in marriages, despite financial contributions becoming more equal.
