Survey for Men and Women: Which would you prefer?

For starters suppose the following:


You are married, have no kids, and the man and woman are capable of earning the same income.





Which senario would you find the most preferable, and why:





1: Man works 8 hours a day


Woman Does 4 hours of housework and 4 hours of community involvement/leasure a day





2: Woman works 8 hours a day


Man does 4 hours of housework and 4 hours of community involvement/leasure a day





3: Man and woman work 8 hours and an additional 2 hours of housework a day.





4: Man and woman work 4 hours a day, and additional 2 hours a day of housework, and 2 hours a day of leisure/community involvement.





Optional 2nd Parter:


What do you suppose the economic impact would be if everybody adopted your prefered method?

Survey for Men and Women: Which would you prefer?
# 4 Man and woman work 4 hours a day with 2 hours of house work (why it would take that long every day is beyond me, my word they could build house in that time in a couple of years) and 2 more hours doing other.


If everybody lived with in their means and didn't use credit I think this would be more ideal then what we have today both economically and or satisfaction wise.


However after they had kids I think the scenario should change.
Reply:None of them they all sound monotonous and boring.
Reply:I would prefer #3 because I am going into a field that requires 8 hours of work from me per day, and I would not want to spend the rest of my life with a man that would be okay giving up his career for the house. I would not be able to do the same for him.





I suppose that the economic impact would be something along the line of a reduction in unemployment coupled with a higher degree of difficulty in finding a preferred job. I'm not sure; it would depend on what sort of career each person had/wanted. I don't think everyone should adopt my preferred method because it would not work for every couple.
Reply:this century man and women both are same but women work more 8 office remaining hours house work and for husband . man work 8 hours office rest of the time of wife so women is more then man
Reply:#4 Work smart not hard is the answer...
Reply:I would have to say number three. I don't think everyone should do my prefered method just because everyone is different. What is right for me is not necessarily right for someone else1
Reply:#3


we worked hard for equal rights


we should work as many hours as the guy does
Reply:I prefer #4 - but only if I can add the following: We must receive the same salary as working 8 hours. LOL! Also, if it is just him and me and we have no kids, there is no need for an additional 2 hours of housework. At the most, it would be 20 minutes because we'd both be at work a good portion of the day, in my current situation we are not messy. When I leave, there are no dishes, no clutter, and a quick sweep/mop and vacuum or a load of laundry hardly takes 10 minutes. If it means we only get paid for 4 hours, then I'll go with 1 minus the 4 hours of housework. that would probably be 4 hours of volunteering + 4 hours of leisure.





I'm not sure about the economic impact of that. As it stands, I don't *have* my own income and these days that seems to be a luxury. There are lots of us at-home parents though, and I have to say when you add up the costs of daycare for young children, gas and car maintenance costs, maybe even the purchase of another vehicle, business attire, lunches, and the commute, it seems like 2 incomes end up boiling down to less than one.
Reply:I'd choose either 2 or 3.
Reply:i would pick 4 because my partner and i would be equal and we would have time left over for our child. together.
Reply:5. Woman works 8 hours a day and another 4 on housework and preparing meals. Man rests on the couch 8 hours but occasionally gets up to get a cold one from the fridge.
Reply:#5 Man and woman work 8 hours and hire a housekeeper
Reply:Way too long for my short life!
Reply:#1 I think families would be more stable this way. It may be a little bit more on the traditional side, but it worked and children grew up in a "home" with love and supervision.
Reply:My answer would change depending on how much we get paid.


If we both are earning $20 000, then i pick 3.


If we both could earn $150 000, then i pick 1. Id make enough to support the two of us, then she could handle all the housework, so I wont have to do that crap when im tired after work.





Economic impact all depends on how much we are making. If 3 occurs, and your both earing $20 000, your still broke.
Reply:I would pick 4, since your life can't be ALL about work and housework. You need some fun time as well.





I don't know much about economics in that context, so I can't answer the second part.
