Families and the distribution of labour

The distribution of household work and paid work continues to be highly unequal between men and women. Although little information is available on the distribution of labour within households, in all the countries women’s participation in the domestic sphere is considerably higher than men’s, notwithstanding the increase in women’s economic activity rates and the larger number of households with two or more breadwinners.
