Families and Children MissionThe Families and Children working group is comprised of university members from a range of disciplines who are committed to investigating issues that affect the well-being and optimum development of children and families. By working together we seek to generate interdisciplinary forms of inquiry and understanding that enhance the role of applied research in promoting knowledge, practices, and policies that reflect the needs and experiences of children and their families. Research topics include child welfare, child and family well-being, adoption, child development, domestic violence, and family policy. For more information contact .
NewsAugust 30, 2007 New Study Shows Married Men Do Less Housework than Live-In Boyfriends A study by Shannon Davis, Theodore N. Greenstein, and Jennifer P. Gerteisen Marks recently published in the Journal of Family Issues finds that cohabiting men report performing more household labor than do married men, and cohabiting women report performing less household labor than do married women. The study also finds that the effects of time availability and relative resources on the division of household labor are substantially the same for both union types, but gender ideology is more influential on the division of labor reported by cohabiting than by married respondents.
