“…However, the traditional male breadwinner model proved to be very stable in practice and gender differences continue to persist. Although childless partners are both employed nowadays, the transition to parenthood coincides with a retraditionalization of gender relations: mothers take care for the child, mostly work part-time and only when their children are older, while fathers remain employed full-time and perform their care and upbringing activities in their leisure (Fthenakis, Kalicki and Peitz 2002;Rüling 2007). …”

Social support is often described as an exclusively positively acting factor. Its absence is said to mean negative consequences for individuals. This article shows that the supply and dependence of intergenerational social support can have negative consequences and pertains to persisting unequal gender roles and a gendered division of labor in relationships. Based on qualitative interviews, conducted in eastern and western Germany, with young adults (28-30 years old) and their parents, we hypothesize, that the bigger supply of intergenerational support of grandparents for their children and grandchildren and an alleged dependence on these transfers is especially responsible for impeding the modernization of traditional role models assigning women to the role as a mother and housewife. However, less availability and dependence on this kind of social support in eastern Germany, contribute to a more flexible form of role allocation in a relationship.

“…Existing surveys have operationalised attitudes toward the division of labour within the family differently, e.g. in the ISSP (ZUMA/Infas 1994, the LBS-family-study (Fthenakis et al 2002a(Fthenakis et al , 2002b, or Zulehner's (n.d.) research on men. Since the focus of this paper is on male participation in housework, and since we follow Poortman and Van der Lippe (2009) in assuming that men's participation depends on their own normative attitudes (and not those of their partners), the fi ndings reported here focus on male gender role beliefs.…”

“…In contrast to the attitude toward the male provider -female homemaker model, considerable gender-specifi c differences can be observed: six out of ten women endorse women's employment parallel to having young children in the household.

Gender and family researchers are often puzzled by the differences between gender norms and actual behaviour. For example, many previous studies have shown that since the 1970s, attitudes have changed toward more modern gender role beliefs. However, this is generally not reflected in behaviour, this being especially true for men’s involvement in housework and care work. In this paper, we analyse to what extent gender norms correspond with men’s participation in housework. We examine in particular cooking, vacuum-cleaning and doing the laundry, because these activities reflect pronounced variation in norms and actions with regard to modern and traditional gender role attitudes. Going beyond previous research, which assesses the general influence of norms on practices, we investigate the relative impact of different types of gender ideologies, namely the strength with which respondents endorse (1) the male provider and female homemaker model, (2) women’s employment, (3) employment as men’s primary role, and (4) men’s participation in unpaid work. Our empirical findings indicate that positive attitudes towards male contributions to housework are a key predictor of men’s housework.
