or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, (26) the fact that many more women now have jobs In a survey of 1,256 people (27) between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners Women who did not work outside the home were (28) to perform 80 per cent - the majority of housework - if their husbands did the remainder Research has shown that if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload (29) 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes So the division of labour becomes unbalanced, as the man’s share increases much less than the woman’s It is the inequality and (30) of respect, not the actual number of hours which leads to anxiety and depression The research even describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Political and family values within society have impacted upon the modern family structure Traditionally, it has
been the man's role to be the breadwinner for the family- providing the funds to pay for food and shelter However,
due to the many new and unique responsibilities placed upon families, in numerous cases both men and women-fathers and mothers- have had to enter the workforce Generally, the reasons for both being involved in the workforce revolve around the need to add to the family's current financial base To a lesser extent, the need to interact with "adults" in a stimulating work environment is another popular reason Whatever their reasons, for many families, the decision for father and mother to go out of home and join the labour force has led to a number
of side effects within the home which, in turn, impact upon their performance as employees
Many researchers agree that attitudes towards work are carried over into family life This spillover can be positive or negative Positive spillover refers to the spread of satisfaction and positive stimulation at work resulting
in high levels of energy and satisfaction at home If the amount of research is to be taken as an indication, it would seem that positive spillover is not a dominant occurrence in the workplace with most research focusing on the effects of negative spillover Often pointing out the incompatible nature of work and family life, the research
focuses on problems and conflict at work which has the effect of draining and preoccupying the individual,
making it difficult for him or her to participate fully in family life
Social scientists have devised a number of theories in an attempt to explain the work-family dynamic
Compensation theory is one which has been widely used It assumes that the relationship between work and family
is negative by pointing out that high involvement in one sphere- invariably the work sphere- leads to low involvement in the other As an individual advances within a career, demands typically fluctuate from moderate to more demanding and if the advancing worker has younger children, this shift in work responsibilities will usually manifest itself in the form of less time spent with the family Researchers subscribing to this theory point out that the drain on family time is significantly related to work-family conflict with an escalation in conflict, as the number of families increase
