最近的研究将避孕药具的使用或“生育工作”视为另一项主要由妇女管理的家务。本研究以相对资源理论和性别观点为理论框架，探讨伴侣权力（衡量标准为相对教育程度、家务分工和决策）与男性与女性的选择或不避孕之间的关系。四个西欧国家（奥地利、比利时、法国和德国; 2005-2010年）的世代和性别调查数据被用来检验多项逻辑对角线参考模型的假设。结果表明，男性和女性的教育水平是同样重要的预测一对夫妇的避孕方法的选择。此外，研究结果表明，男子承担更多家务或妇女在决定中有更多发言权的家庭更有可能依赖男性方法或女性绝育，而不是更常用的女性可逆方法。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.

Recent research has approached contraceptive use, or "fertility work", as another household task that is primarily managed by women. Building on the theoretical frameworks of relative resource theory and gender perspectives, this study investigates the association between partners' power (measured as their relative education, division of housework and decision-making) and the choice of male versus female, or no contraception. Data from the Generations and Gender Survey for four Western European countries (Austria, Belgium, France and Germany; 2005-2010) are used to examine the hypotheses with multinomial logistic diagonal reference models. The results show that man's and woman's educational level are equally important predictors for a couple's contraceptive method choice. Furthermore, the findings suggest that households in which the man performs more housework or the woman has more say in decisions are more likely to rely on male methods or female sterilization, rather than on the more commonly used female reversible methods.
