Descrição: This study examines the variability within and between gender in the use of space in the home. Secondary data analysis is undertaken of a time-budget survey of 538 family households in Toronto. Among fully-employed, married men and women, gender reflects different use of the home. Fully-employed mothers compared to fathers spend more time in rooms with other family members; they are also more involved in housekeeping and child-care activities in those rooms. Co-occupancy of the room and how space in the home is used also varies among women of different employment and marital status. Further work is advocated which incorporates finer-grained analyses of the use and meaning of home along physical, temporal, and activity dimensions, as well as analyses based on actual roles and social relations people assume rather than those which are simply ascribed.
