Having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, tying the knot saves an hour of weekly chores.
"It's a well-known pattern," said lead researcher Frank Stafford, an economist at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "Men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor."
He points out individual differences among households exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.
一项最新研究发现，女人有了老公后每周得多做七个小时的家务活，而对于男人而言，结婚则意味着每周少做一小时的家务。
密歇根大学社会研究所的经济学家、首席研究员弗兰克?斯坦弗德说：“‘男主外，女主内。’这是一个众所周知的家庭分工模式。”
斯坦福德指出，尽管各个家庭间会存在个体差别，但总的来说，女性婚后承担的家务活增多，而对于男性而言则是减少。“有了孩子后，女性的家务活负担会进一步加重。”
