Japanese Economy, 2012, vol. 39, issue 4, 3-41

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to empirically show how the housework behavior of husbands and wives has changed based on data on wives in dual-earner households obtained from the JPSC conducted by the Institute for Research on Household Economics in 1993, 2000, and 2007. The results show that the housework behavior of husbands in 2000 and 2007 is explained by the gender display model, while the housework behavior of wives is explained by the gender display model in 2000, but by the autonomy model in 2007.
