La literatura sobre la división del trabajo doméstico ha mostrado lainfl uencia del ciclo vital en la organización interna de las familias; enconcreto, la llegada de los hijos parece tener un efecto importante en elreparto de las tareas. Este artículo examina el efecto de la parentalidad enel caso español, intentando comprobar si las parejas con hijos tienenrepartos más tradicionales, en qué sentido, y si se aprecian cambios eneste sentido a lo largo del tiempo. Para ello seguimos la estrategiaempírica de Dribe y Stanfors (2009) para el caso sueco: se analiza eltiempo dedicado a diferentes actividades con las encuestas españolas deuso del tiempo de 2002-2003 y 2009-2010. Los resultados muestran quelas familias con hijos muestran pautas de reparto del trabajo domésticomás tradicionales, que dependen, en gran medida, de la edad de losniños, y que esta tendencia

AbstractFamily scholars have used several approaches to explain the division of domestic work: economic exchange, time availability, and gender. These are often presented as analytically different and competing perspectives, although the consensus in the literature is that all of them contribute to explaining the division of work. This article presents a critical appraisal of this literature that intends to move research forward in three ways: first, by highlighting how these approaches are empirically and analytically interdependent, and therefore should not be studied separately. Second, by arguing that one of them—the gender perspective—takes analytical precedence. The underlying argument is that both economic factors and time availability are not gender‐neutral and can thus be accounted for using a gender perspective. Finally, the article illustrates how using an integrative approach to gender—Risman's gender as a social structure—can provide a more fruitful way to analyze the gendered division of work.

The lockdowns enforced in many countries to contain the spread of COVID-19 had important consequences for the domestic sphere. This paper analyzes the division of domestic work among heterosexual couples in France during the lockdown. In particular, we analyzed the role of time constraints and availability and expected to find a more egalitarian division of domestic work among couples in which the man had more time than his partner due to not working or working from home. We used data from the ELIPSS panel, a representative survey of the French population, and ran OLS regressions on the division of domestic work among 406 couples. The results show that men's time availability was associated with a more egalitarian division of domestic work, even if gender inequalities persisted. However, we did not find any clear differences between men who did not work and men who worked from home, leading us to hypothesize that men's presence at home is an important factor.

L'OMS décrit l'allaitement maternel comme « le moyen normal de fournir aux nourrissons les nutriments dont ils ont besoin pour une croissance saine » et recommande l'allaitement au sein exclusivement et à la demande pendant les six premiers mois de l'enfant. Ces recommandations portant sur l'alimentation du nourrisson s'inscrivent dans un paradigme de santé spécifique qui responsabilise les individus et met l'accent sur la prévention des risques, un paradigme qui rejoint également l'idée du déterminisme parental. Les recherches menées dans les pays anglo-saxons montrent que l'allaitement est devenu un impératif moral pour les mères, souvent lié à une idéologie du maternage intensif. Le but de cet article est double. Nous examinerons d'abord si la norme de l'allaitement est dominante en Espagne. Dans un deuxième temps, nous analyserons les écarts à la norme et verrons de quelle manière ces écarts sont justifiés et vécus par les mères. Notre étude se fonde sur des entretiens qualitatifs menés auprès de 56 mères espagnoles en couple hétérosexuel, où les deux partenaires sont actifs sur le marché du travail, lesquelles ont été interrogées avant et après la naissance de leur premier enfant. Les entretiens avec ces femmes montrent que l'allaitement au sein est en effet perçu comme l'idéal pour les bébés, mais que les mères qui s'écartent de la norme utilisent des logiques de justification diverses, dont certaines remettent en question les principes du maternage intensif.

Although many indicators reflect the marked retreat from marriage occurring in Spain since the 1980s, the diffusion of cohabitation has been slow. The confluence of very low and late fertility, latest‐late marriage, and low cohabitation has been largely regarded as defying the predictions of the second demographic transition and has fueled a debate over the distinctiveness of the Mediterranean model of family formation. Comparative analyses based on the Family and Fertility Survey documented the marginal role of cohabitation in Spain and in the rest of southern European countries by the mid‐1990s. In this research, the authors used more recent data from the 2006 Spanish Fertility, Family and Values Survey (N = 5,750) to reveal that cohabitation has spread significantly among younger cohorts and hence can no longer be considered as playing a marginal role in the family formation process.

This article analyzes changes in the division of routine domestic work after first parenthood. We wanted to know whether and how it was possible for couples to resist the trend toward traditionalization that has been shown in the literature. To do so, we analyze semistructured interviews with 27 Spanish couples who were expecting their first child in 2011 and interviewed them again in 2013. The couples were selected from a bigger sample because of their nontraditional practices preparenthood. Our results show that 17 of them were able to maintain a nontraditional division of domestic work, whereas 10 traditionalized. In our analysis, relative resources and time availability did not sufficiently explain the changes in the division of work, but specific characteristics of the division of work before childbirth—men's active participation, the routinization of tasks, and flexible standards—emerged as key factors to resist the trend toward more traditional arrangements.
