Women are disproportionately involved in housework despite increased involvement in paid work. Women"s time invested in housework has decreased but the housework men have participated in has not increased. Much information about domestic labour is focused on caucasian families. Focus on punjabi canadians in british columbia, african canadians in. Scotia and european canadians in nova scotia and bc. These families all provided rationale for the way housework is divided. 1 - allocation of time within a household. 2 - unemployed and part-time women contribute more to housework. 3 - men who are employed for less time than their female partners do not increase their share.
