本文以1993年消费者支出调查的数据为基础，对家务相关服务消费进行分析，发现家务服务和外出就餐的支出不仅受到家庭阶级和种族的影响，而且还受到婚姻动态的影响。在其他条件相同的情况下，妇女在收入和职业地位方面拥有更多相对权力的家庭，消费更多的家政服务，并将更多的食物美元花在外出就餐上，富裕家庭和白色家庭也是如此。沿着已有研究的家务劳动本身，这些结果表明，家务劳动服务消费也是家庭内部性别协商和冲突的竞技场，是性别关系因阶级和种族而异的一种方式。
Using data from the 1993 Consumer Expenditure Survey to examine housework-related service consumption, the author finds that spending on housekeeping services and meals out-which helps relieve women's housework burden-is affected by dynamics within marriages as well as by family class and race-ethnicity. Other things equal, families in which women have more relative power as reflected in their income and occupational status, consume more housekeeping services and spend more of their food dollars on meals out, as do wealthier families and white families. Along with housework itself which is well studied, these results suggest that housework service consumption is also an arena for gendered negotiation and conflict within families, and one way that gender relations vary by class and race-ethnicity.
