Hypothesis
The Hypothesis of this project is that division of labor within households is equal between males and females now than it was 30 years ago (in the 1990s).
The Hypothesis stated above is partially supported by the research conducted in the previous chapter.
Indicators that the research supported the Hypothesis
The findings of the research in the previous chapter of the study did support the Hypothesis partially. Some results implied reducing the variance between male and female involvement in domestic chores, while others indicated that more women are still subjected to household chores.
More women are involved in salaried labor and the men in household chores.
According to a study conducted in 2015 on labor balance within the household, it was discovered that more men were involved in household chores such as taking care of children and cooking, among other tasks as compared to 30 years ago. On the other hand, the study has also found that the number of women involved in salaried labor in the United States increased and, as a result, reduced the number of depressed women in the United States. They were suffering depression due to a lack of paid labor. This is, therefore, a clear indication that gender imbalance between men and women in domestic unpaid chores must have reduced with each gender getting more involved in tasks that were perceived to be of the opposite gender.
Fewer Demarcated Tasks Based on Gender
The research has also found that demarcation of various tasks in the United States based on gender is also diminishing today compared to how the situation was in the early 1990s. The research illustrates that 56% of engaged couples in 1990 had fathers who worked outside the home and mothers who were engaged primarily in domestic chores. Contrastingly, a study conducted in 2016 showed that the wedded couples hardly experienced the exact alignment as their counterparts in 1990. Therefore, this indicates that demarcation of tasks based on gender has diminished a lot in the world today compared to 30 years ago in that both parents are currently involved in paid labor outside the households, thus less involved in domestic chor...
