Home Core Breaks

Home Core Breaks examines the evolving female homemaker role and its widespread effects on family dynamics, work-life balance, and social structures. Challenging conventional views, the book uses time-use data to explore how the decline of traditional homemaking impacts childcare arrangements and overall family well-being. One intriguing insight is the varying rates of decline in homemaking activities across different socioeconomic groups, highlighting the nuanced nature of these shifts.

The book's approach involves a comprehensive analysis of time-use data, coupled with sociological insights into gender roles and family relationships. Beginning with an introduction to the concept of the "home core," the book progresses through quantitative analysis, an exploration of childcare implications in dual-income families, and an examination of the emotional consequences for men and women. This approach provides a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the benefits and challenges of increased female participation in the workforce and its implications for social policy.
