Just published! "The Unchanging Divide: Balancing Housework and Labour Market Responsibilities In Late Family Stages" In this paper, we document the persistent gendered division of domestic and labor market responsibilities within families as children grow into adulthood and eventually leave home. Mothers continue to bear the double shift—managing a disproportionate domestic workload of around twenty hours per week alongside labor market responsibilities—even when their young adult children are thirty. The emancipation of young adults brings minimal change to this imbalance, underscoring the long-lasting effects of the division of responsibilities that emerge with the birth of the first child. (Check out our other paper for more on this!)
