We bring a novel, longitudinal, perspective to an ongoing series of influential papers that investigates the relationship between housework, marital bargaining, and spousal resources. For the first time, we believe, in this long debate, we combine a longitudinal perspective with a measure of resources— human capital—that provides an indicator of the likely economic bargaining power of the non-employed, thereby enabling their inclusion in analysis. We use longitudinal fixed-effects models to address the relationship between housework hours and spousal resources based on yearly couples’ data from the nationally representative British Household Panel Study ( N ¼ 6,541 couples). Using the measure of human capital, we find change in wives’ own human capital to be the most important factor determining housework for both spouses, and no evidence for gender deviance neutralization. We con-clude it is women’s resources that are the critical determining factor in bargaining over housework. Over the past 20 years a series of influential papers have investigated the relationship between couples’ earned income and housework (e.g. Brines, 1994; Greenstein, 2000; Bittman et al. , 2003; Evertsson and Nermo, 2004; Gupta, 2007; Gupta and Ash, 2008; Killewald and Gough, 2010). The assumption underpinning this literature is that spousal economic resources are instrumental in determining the outcome of spousal marital bargaining over desirable and undesirable activities. One of the more controversial findings to emerge suggested that women who earn more than their husbands do more housework to compensate for their non-normative economic status, and that, for the same reasons, unemployed husbands do less housework than equivalent men in employment (the so-called ‘gender deviance neu-tralization’ effect).
