For the women in this study, even when they were forced to go to work because of tough economic times, which of the following would best describe their identity?
a. Primary family breadwinner.
b. Primary family caregiver, for their children, husband, and parents.
c. Secondary economic provider, with their husband only temporarily out of work.
d. Most of these women did not join the labor force, even if their husband was laid off.
Question 2
For some of the women in this study, such as Julie, the division of household work did not change when her husband was laid off and she was in the work force. What was the explanation for this?
a. It just was always that way and they did not see reasons to change. Her mother did the major housework and she continued to do the same.
b. Julie did not trust her husband to do the housework to her satisfaction and it was easier for her to continue than to get annoyed at him.
c. Julie's husband, Dave, was disabled so she did not feel that it was he right thing to do to expect him to take on household tasks.
d. When Dave was laid off, he had to devote most of his time to finding a new job, and doing the household tasks would take away from his ability to find employment.
