Gender and Family Work in One-Parent Households.

Hall, Leslie D.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n3 p685-92 Aug 1995

Compared mothers (n=1,433) and fathers (n=128) in one-parent families on time spent with children and in household work. Found that family work in one-parent households, like family work in two-parent households, is gendered, consistent with theories indicating parenting behavior is gendered. (JBJ)
