This emerges clearly from an extensive review of cross-national trends covering over twenty countries by Man Yee Kan, Oriel Sullivan, and Jonathan Gershuny.14 They distinguish between diferent categories of domestic work as follows: routine housework (including daily routine types of housework such as cleaning, doing the laundry, and cooking), caring for family members (including care for children and adults), and nonroutine types of household work (such as shopping, gardening, and household repairs). Their main conclusion is that gender segregation between the diferent types of domestic work remains remarkably resilient.\n\nWhile men are increasing their contribution in all categories of domestic work, they still spend comparatively little time overall on routine housework and much less time on child care. Men mainly do the less routine types of chores, such as DIY projects and shopping. Women still undertake the bulk of each type of domestic work, focusing particularly on routine housework (with cleaning, cooking, and laundry exhibiting the highest level of female specialization) and caring for others. Shopping and domestic travel times show a rising trend for both sexes and are less unequally divided, though women still do the largest part of these activities.\n\nThis traditional gendered specialization of household tasks is itself a major barrier to the equalizing of time use. Its persistence over the past forty years, despite women’s increasing labor force participation, points to the continuing hold that gender-appropriate use of time has for feminine and masculine identities. Caring activities and routine cooking, cleaning, and laundry are strongly marked as female, whereas nonroutine chores such as DIY projects and outside work are male activities. Perhaps surprisingly, the authors note that these gender divisions do not seem very susceptible to change even in countries where gender ideologies are considered relatively nontraditional (such as the Scandinavian countries).15\n\nDoing Domestic Time\n\n117","previous_page":116,"next_page":118}
