ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to explore the housework sharing between husbands and wives with special reference to wives' jobs, Using couple data from a sample of 370 dual-earner couples and 250 husband-only employed couples multiple regression analysis was used. Major findings were as follows: 1) Husbands of the dual-earner couples participated in housework a little more than husbands of the husband-only employed couples did. 2) The husbands whose wives' jobs are office workers tended to share housework more than the husbands whose wives' jobs are professionals or blue collars did. 3) Among the variables which significantly affect housework sharing husbands' sex role attitude is the most influential factor and each partner's working hours a week has also significant effect. I suggested that more studies are needed to explore the relationship between the housework sharing and marital quality in order to identify and to lessen the stresses between husband and wife.
