Young and Willmott

Symmetrical family

Found no evidence of a trend towards symmetry. Only 15% of husbands had a high level of participants in house work and only 25% in childcare.

Ann Oakley

A feminist view of housework

Found that fewer than 20% of husbands had a major role in childcare. Argues that young and Willmott exaggerate men's contributions by looking at the tasks involved with childcare rather than responsibilities as it us always the mother who is responsible for the child's security and well being.

Boulton

A feminist view of housework

Argues that women working full time is leading to a more equal division of labour in the home. Using other studies they found that these women did less domestic work than other women.

Gershuny

Sullivan

March of progress view

Found that fathers took responsibility for childcare in less than 4% of families.

Ferri and Smith

Supports Boulton

Argues that women have to perform a triple shift of housework, paid work and emotional work.
