Abstract
The relationship between patterns of time spent in household work and employment hours of the wife was examined in a sample of 206 families. Employment of the wife outside the home in paid work was significantly related to her time in housework, but had little effect on her husband's or children's time contributions to household tasks. A lessening of the time crunch for full-time employed wives and equalization of length of work days for husbands and wives was indicated when present data were compared with time budgets collected in the 1960s.
