Although an in-depth body of literature has explored the gendered lives of children in India, little is known about adolescents. Utilizing 24-hour time diary data from South India, this study examined how girls’ (n = 554) and boys’ (n = 577) engagement in housework varied by parents’ gender ideology. Findings show that adolescent girls with egalitarian parents do significantly less housework than girls with less egalitarian parents. At first glance, these findings support socialization theory—that what parents think translates into what adolescents do. However, boys do very little housework, regardless of parents’ gender attitudes. These differing findings are consistent with the idea of a stalled gender revolution and illustrate that socialization theory is not gender neutral.

印度青少年的性别家务劳动
尽管有大量文献深入探讨了印度儿童的性别生活,但对青少年知之甚少。本研究利用来自印度南部的 24 小时时间日记数据,研究了女孩 ( n = 554) 和男孩 ( n = 577) 从事家务劳动的情况如何因父母的性别意识形态而异。调查结果表明,与父母不太平等的女孩相比,拥有平等父母的少女做家务要少得多。乍一看,这些发现支持社会化理论——父母的想法会转化为青少年的行为。然而,男孩很少做家务,不管父母的性别态度如何。这些不同的发现与停滞的性别革命的想法是一致的,并说明社会化理论不是性别中立的。
