	Urban housework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban Housework began in December of 2000 as the Urban Housework Project.
		There has been no attempts by the urban housework organizers to actually overtake the EIB as the top authority over the sport; if this were to ever happen, EIB members would be unlikely to accept a merger.
		The Urban Housework project and the EIB alike think of themselves as separate entities at the very least, but with a distinct clashing of interests as they both battle for the outdoor housework crown.

		Women who keep their homes clean and tidy are less likely to develop breast cancer than those who let the dust and dishes pile up, according to a new report.
		Previous studies have identified a link between exercise and reduced breast cancer risk in post-menopausal women, but this is one of the first to include a large number of pre-menopausal women.
		However when the results were examined in more detail it was found that women who did the most housework had significantly reduced risks while work- and recreation-based activity had less effect.

		Therefore, I expect the marginal influence of age on housework to be positive for wives and the change in marginal influence of age on housework to be negative, creating a curved relationship.
		Therefore, I expect the intercept to increase and the marginal influence on housework to be positive for African-American husbands compared to white husbands and to decrease and have a negative marginal influence for African-American wives compared to white wives.
		While no variables tested change the number of housework hours husbands perform, wives appear to do more housework when they are very dependent, reducing housework hours to a point close to where they have almost equal incomes, and then increasing housework hours as they provide more of the family income.

	Digital History
		Housework in nineteenth century America was harsh physical labor.
		Well?to?do urban families had piped water or a private cistern, but the overwhelming majority of American families got their water from a hydrant, a pump, a well, or a stream located some distance from their house.
		By the 1920s, the urban middle class enjoyed a myriad of new household conveniences, including hot and cold running water, gas stoves, automatic washing machines, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners.

	Vol 12(2) - Gallagher & Delworth
		Scholl (1983) noted that traditionally, farm women were less likely than urban women to have paid employment perhaps because of the labor demands of farm life and lack of employment opportunities in rural areas.
		Housework, including tasks such as cooking and cleaning, were reported as regular duties by 98% of nonemployed farm women and 96% of employed farm women.
		An added set of household tasks, perhaps less familiar to some urban women, was the care of vegetable gardens and animals for family food consumption Seventy percent of employed farm women reported this as a regular task, compared to 76% of nonemployed farm women (Jones and Rosenfeld, 1981).

		The traditional praise of a woman as "virtuous wife and good mother" has become an insult to the majority of urban girls, for whom the term is equivalent to wearing an outdated piece of clothing that belonged to one's grandmother.
		The often educated urban women who are invariably the employers of rural domestic servants often look down upon the latter's low level of education and lack of manners, and could quite easily suspect rural girls as prostitutes or thieves.
		The urban woman is a far cry from the rural woman and from her predecessor, the reeducated girl high school graduate back in the 1960s-1970s (c.f.

		For urban women, who are employed in service-related and industrial sectors, being educated or skilled is a prerequisite.
		Therefore, urban women are expected to have jobs in public services and industrial sectors as rural women are expected to be engaged in agricultural activities.
		Though the percentage of housewives in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas, most rural women are engaged in agricultural activities, besides their housework.

		Sex of the adolescent, education of the father, education and employment of the mother, income of the family, and season of the year significantly affected the time spent on housework.
		Independent variables were categorized as: pressures toward greater time inputs to housework, constraints on time inputs to housework, and facilitators of housework activity.
		Results indicate that wives spend more hours on housework the fewer hours they work outside the home, the larger the family size, the fewer times the family eats out per month, and the greater number of stories in the family dwelling.

		If the family could not afford a housekeeper, the amount of time the female head-of-household could spend on shopping excursions would be limited by the amount of housework she had to do.
		And the amount of time she could spend socializing on such excursions would be further reduced by time spent searching for needed merchandise and the expense of a department store lunch or similar activity.

		Housework had to be transformed into a natural attribute rather than be recognized as a social contract because from the beginning of capital's scheme for women this work was destined to be unwaged.19
		Surplus value is extracted directly from the labor time of the woman on the job, in addition to her reproduction work being extracted from the male workers on the assembly line.
		Thus, the surplus value of the housework had to be realized immediately, sucked up just at the moment of its exuding, rather than the next day in the reproduced line worker or the next generation in the new cohort of workers entering the labor marker.
