有人提出，妻子的收入和她们做家务的时间之间的负相关是由于妻子收入高的家庭将家务劳动外包给了更多的人，但这一假设尚未得到直接验证。在健康和退休研究的消费和活动邮件调查（N = 796）中，在双职工已婚夫妇的样本中，发现使用市场替代品代替妇女做家务与妻子做饭和打扫卫生的时间只有微弱的相关性。此外，在市场替代品上的支出解释了不到15%的收入-家务劳动时间关系。这表明，市场替代品的使用在解释妻子从事家务劳动的时间变化方面所起的作用比以前假设的要小。
It has been proposed that the negative association between wives' earnings and their time in housework is due to greater outsourcing of household labor by households with high‐earning wives, but this hypothesis has not been tested directly. In a sample of dual‐earner married couples in the Consumption and Activities Mail Survey of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 796), use of market substitutes for women's housework was found to be only weakly associated with wives' time cooking and cleaning. Furthermore, expenditures on market substitutes explain less than 15% of the earnings–housework time relationship. This suggests that use of market substitutes plays a smaller role in explaining variation in wives' time in household labor than has previously been hypothesized.
