Answers
In line with this division of responsibility for management of household affairs, most couples continue to characterize husbands' contributions to housework or childcare as "helping" their wives (Coltrane 1996). Children and other family members also perform various household tasks
Answer:
The gender division of labor traditionally allocated domestic production to women, activities that included providing subsistence as well as care to their families. The shift from labor exchange to a monetized economy tended to leave women with tasks and responsibilities that are not paid and therefore are excluded from national accounts. Opportunities for men to earn money are more plentiful but may require migration for short or long periods of time, weakening family cohesion and kin networks while changes in traditional status hierarchies as well as income paths increases insecurity. Once men earn money they often feel entitled to spend it on drinking, gambling, or women rather than on their families.
