Abstract
Daily activities of married couples have been analyzed according to whether or not the wives are employed. This time we have transition in homemaking hours with the data of 1967, 1971 and 1975.
The results were as follows :
1. Non-employed wives are decreased for these hours. It is caused by decreasing child-care, education, sewing and knitting hours. Employed wives are increased, especially for those whose youngest child are of pre-school age, for child-care hours are longer.
2. Generally, cooking hours are longer, sewing and knitting hours are shorter, and laundry and clearing hours are almost same.
3. Cooperation by their husbands in homemaking tasks were not changed between these times.
