学者们认为，家庭劳动的性别分工是性别不平等的一个据点。我们探讨家庭劳动和性别关系的变化时，保守的，工人阶级家庭经历就业中断。使用49个定性访谈的数据与男性和女性的养家糊口的丈夫被迫失业后，我们观察到一些变化，在性别的家务劳动，但得出的结论是，一个显着的变性家务是挫败的机构，互动和个人层面的过程。在机构一级，缺乏高薪工作和家务劳动中持续存在的性别差异阻碍了变革。在个人层面上，对性别认同的挑战鼓励加强传统的性别意识形态。在中间一级，妇女的照料工作责任和失业丈夫的有偿工作的意义阻碍了任务的调整。
Scholars see the gendered division of household labor as a stronghold of gender inequality. We explore changes in household labor and gender relations when conservative, working-class families experience employment disruptions. Using data from 49 qualitative interviews conducted with men and women following the forced unemployment of breadwinning husbands, we observe some change in gendered household labor but conclude that a significant degendering of housework is thwarted by institutional-, interactive-, and individual-level processes. At the institutional level, the lack of well-paying jobs and the persistent gendering of household tasks discourage change. At the individual level, challenges to gendered identities encourage a reinforcement of traditional gender ideologies. At the interactional level, women's responsibility for care work and the meaning of paid work for unemployed husbands forestall the adjustment of tasks.
