finds that young people hold more conservative gender attitudes than typically assumed.
We analyzed 40 years of responses to a nationally representative sample of high school seniors. The Monitoring the Future data was revealing. Continued gender inequality at home and at work is frequently explained by a lack of “family-friendly” policies. If we had equal pay, paid parental leave and affordable childcare, men and women would more equitably share work and home responsibilities. But these structural constraints are not the only barrier to manifesting equitable relationships.
Division of labor preferences reflect beliefs about appropriate roles for men and women, and youth persistently prefer women to be primarily responsible for childcare and housework. A conventional arrangement—consisting of a husband working full-time and the wife staying at home—remained the most desired division of labor scenario among high school students.
Some may argue that a minuscule desire for men’s caregiving is the wrong bar to measure support for equal relationships. Perhaps youth can’t envision a positive model about what men’s time at home might look like. There are sound reasons people might reject gender atypical divisions of labor, those that prioritize women’s employment while men stay at home.
