| Theorist(s) | Explanation | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Wilmott and Young | Marriage in the 1970s was likely to be egalitarian because of the fragmentation of extended families, greater job opportunities, access to contraception and more women working. | 1970s |

| BBC | Study of 1,000 men and women; modern marriage characterised by âchore warsâ. 2/3 of those aged 18-34 regularly argued over domestic chores. | 2014 |

| Maume | In families with working mothers, 1 in 4 fathers took emergency time off to care for sick children. | 2008 |
| Edgell | Decision making in nuclear families could be allocated to three broad categories; very important, important, and less important. The former was male dominated and the latter female dominated. | 1980 |
| Hardill et al. | Edgellâs 1980 study still applied because middle class women still deferred important decisions to their husband because he was the major breadwinner. | 1997 |
