This study examines whether the factors affecting high school boys’ attitudes towards housework and childcare differ in relation to parents’ academic backgrounds. Data for 1968 high school boys drawn from ‘The Second Basic Survey on the Actualities of Children’s Life （2009）’ are divided into four groups by parents’ academic background. Logistic regression analyses find that factors affecting high school boys’ attitudes towards housework and childcare differ by parents’ academic background. First, it is only where both parents have higher educational backgrounds that boys with mothers who work full-time jobs are more likely to think that housework and childcare should be shared equally between husband and wife. Second, an effect is found for boys who perform activities related to housework and childcare tend to support egalitarian attitudes, but the significance of this effect differs by parents’ academic background. |
