摘要：Contrary to a long global trend of researching the domestic division of labour between marital partners, for social scientists in Croatia it has been a completely marginal field of study from the mid-seventies up to the end of the century. The reason for this is buried in the roots of social circumstances: in the socialist period in the sphere of public relations the equality of the sexes was proclaimed, but without entering the sphere of private and family relations. In the nine-year postsocialist transitional period the political parties and options supporting "traditional family values" dominated. Furthermore, war circumstances and a deep economic crisis worked in the same direction backtracking towards traditional patterns of family life. Among the empirical research projects of the division of unpaid labour in the family, in foreign as well as domestic professional literature, there have been but few that include gender segregation of labour into "male" and "female". The main goal of this work was to ascertain the extent to which domestic labour is exposed to gender segregation. In the paper, data obtained within the framework of a broader pilot research of characteristics of family life have been used. The answers of a total of 152 examinees who were married and employed at the time were analysed. The results suggest (1) that domestic labour division between marital partners is still discriminating, with a much greater work involvement of women; (2) that men look after children more than they are engaged in carrying out domestic chores; (3) that domestic labour is greatly exposed to gender segregation, which is also confirmed by the results of the logit analysis.
