More Wives Earn More

02 March 2003--One in three wives now out earns her husband who, in turn, does more of the household chores, according to a new study cited in Business Week magazine.

The more economic power the wife has, the more men help out at home. The study found that 51% of men with breadwinner wives are the major housekeepers.

Researchers say the phenomenon is helping restructure marriage by creating mergers of complementary strengths, in which power is shared and spouses act as flexible allies who easily switch back and forth between roles.
