在理解家庭工作变化的过程中，检查不同社会群体之间变化程度的差异（“变化的差异”）比只关注整体变化或社会群体的横截面差异更能提供信息。研究人员利用英国和美国的时间使用数据集，通过受教育程度的差异来研究30年来男性在家务劳动和照顾孩子方面所做贡献的变化。比较了受教育程度不同的双职工家庭中父亲的变化。研究结果说明了两种截然不同的变化差异：在家务劳动的情况下，受教育程度不同的父亲之间随着时间的推移会产生“追赶”效应；在儿童保育方面，教育扩大了差距。讨论了这些变化的差异对家庭工作变化的共同结构解释所带来的挑战。
In understanding processes of change in family work, examining differences in the degree of change between different social groups (‘changing differences’) can be more informative than focusing either on overall changes or on cross-sectional differences by social group alone. British and US time-use data sets are used to examine 30-year changes in men’s contribution to domestic work and child care by differences in educational attainment. Changes are compared for fathers in dual-earner couples with different levels of education. The findings illustrate two contrasting changing differences: a ‘catch-up’ effect over time between fathers with different educational attainment in the case of domestic labour; and in the case of child care, a widening of the gap by education. The challenges posed by these changing differences for common structural explanations of change in family work are discussed.
