| How has the family changed according to Young and Willmott? | We now live in symmetrical families with joint conjugal roles. Men are more likely to do housework and help with childcare whilst women are more likely to be in paid employment |
| What did Young and Willmott learn through their 1970s study of London families? | Men and women were equally likely to do different types of house work, this was greater amongst the middle class but had begun to spread to the working class |
