Abstract: In this article, I sample data from the JGSS-2006 and conduct an empirical analysis of the housework behavior of dual-earner couples in Japan using their housework participation frequency as the dependent variable. The results of this empirical analysis show that the housework behavior of husbands with wives working part-time is explained by the gender display model while the housework behavior of wives is explained by the autonomy model regardless of their employment type. The results also show that the housework behavior of husbands with wives working full-time is not explained by either the economic exchange model or the gender display model.
