Study Finds Husbands Underhelp With Household Chores
A Cornell study of 1400 families shows daily chores such as cooking cleaning and mending total more than 10000 yearly for a family of four. Women do most of the work even with outside jobs as social norms assign “women’s work” to them. Researchers Gauger and Walker note one shifting convention, yet unequal task division persists.

Cornell Study Values Household Work by Dollar and Hours
Two researchers Gauger and Ms. Walker report that wives contribute the bulk of household work in both time and money, regardless of employment. Across families, husbands, teens, and younger children average under three hours daily, while wives average four hours or more. Nonworking wives in a four person, two-child family add about 10 000 dollars of annual work value versus 6 300 dollars when the wife works outside the home, with other contributors similar. The study notes labor-saving devices shift but do not reduce overall time, and offers a publication IB60 from Cornell Distribution Center for copies at 1 dollar.
