Juggling parenting, work and a pandemic not getting easier
In the new Pew research, 6 in 10 women say they do more household chores than their
partner and just 6% say the man does more. Those numbers don't line up when men are
asked. Nearly half of men (46%) say they share tasks about equally, while 20% say
they do more and just over a third credit their partner working harder on household
chores.
University of Utah researchers also recently contributed to the conversation on housework and gender. Bethany Gull and Claudia Geist found that, perhaps contrary to some expectations, religious men do more household chores like laundry, cleaning dishes and shopping than even secular "progressive" men do. Both groups do more than the guys in the middle of the faith spectrum.
