Second shift. Working families and revolution in the house

More than 30 years ago, the “second shift”, written by the American sociologist Arly Hokshild, set the direction of future discussions and studies of the gender division of labor for decades. In this book, Hokshild examined what is actually happening in families where both partners - husband and wife - work. She found that women work on average about 15 hours a week more than men. Over the year, they have an extra month of round -the -clock work. If a woman is childless, then she spends more time on housework than a man. If she has children, then she spends more time on them and on the house. Just as between men and women there is a gap in the amount of wages at the workplace, at home there is a "gap in leisure." Most women work out one shift in the office or at the factory and the “second shift "at home.
The book is addressed to sociologists, psychologists, social philosophers and everyone who is interested in the problems of family relationships
