Thesis (M.A.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2008.

This project examines the division of unpaid domestic labour in Canada, and explores the three primary explanatory theories in the quantitative literature on the performance of housework -- the time-availability, resources, and gender ideology models. Though women have entered the paid workforce in unprecedented numbers, they have not experienced a corresponding reduction in unpaid domestic labour, and continue to spend almost twice as much time performing housework as do men. Clear evidence was found in support of the time-availability model, though the effects were shaped by gender. The findings around age and marital status offer some speculative support for the gender role hypothesis, while the resources theory was not borne out by the data. The persistence of task segregation was evidenced by greater gender differences for feminine-typed tasks, as compared to total unpaid domestic labour. Policy options modeled on the Scandinavian example, including universal daycare and workplace reforms, are advocated.
