All's Fair in Love and Chores: Examining Relational and Psychological Dynamics When Women Make More than Men
Friday, October 6 | 4:00 pm – 4:50 pm | Providence 1
Despite significant shifts in the equity of the labor market over the past several decades as women increasingly work and earn more, there still exists considerable disparity of the gender pay gap and the division of household labor. Even when women make more than their male counterparts in a relationship, they are burdened with greater responsibility within the home. The current presentation examines the bigger picture of inequity within the workplace and home. Through a feminist financial therapy lens, the authors will discuss strategies to increase financial transparency and role equity. Attention to ethical and professional implications will be given.
