摘要: 文章基于2010 年中国家庭追踪调查数据,详细考察了城镇夫妻工作日与休息日家务活动的时间分配模式考虑到夫妻间潜在相联的性别角色期待对夫妻家庭分工的影响,采用似不相关模型对回归系数的标准误进行校正研究发现,对于家务劳动,妻子收入贡献的增加会显著减少其本人而增加其丈夫工作日的家务劳动时间在休息日,丈夫的家务劳动时间随妻子收入贡献的增加呈现了先升后降的趋势对于家人照料,妻子收入贡献会显著增加丈夫照料家人的时间而其本人的照料时间在工作日和休息日均呈现明显的性别展示模式:该时间先随妻子收入贡献增加而减少,当超过约 60%,其收入贡献的进一步提高反而会增加妻子参与照料的时间

Abstract: Based on the analysis of data from China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) in 2010,this article investigates the pattern of time allocation between partners of married couples in urban China. We employ the Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE model) to examine how relative income of husbands and wives may affect their time spent on housework and caring work,the method of which takes account of the potentially associated between the unobserved gender role expectation and the division of household labor between the couple,which have been largely neglected in previous studies. We separate work days from holidays,and housework from family care in the empirical analysis. Results show that gender displaypattern in time allocation is less pronounced in housework than in family care. On work days, wives?? earnings contribution is positively associated with husbands?? housework
time,but negatively associated with their own housework time. On holidays, wives?? earnings and husbands?? housework time show a curve-linear relationship,with a first increasing and then declining. As to family care,wives?? earnings contribution is not significantly associated with husbands?? caring time. There is a clear pattern of gender displayon both work days and holidays for wives:their caring time would first decrease and then increase with their earnings, after their earnings reach 60 percent of their husbands'. To understand women??s living conditions in China,we call for further exploration of potential mechanisms and forces that drive the long-term change and continuity of the traditional gender practices.
