Beginning with the recession period in 2007, an incremental increase in the proportion of FBw couples has been observed, especially in Spain. The aim of this paper is to study FBw couples and their division of gender roles in two countries with different evolutions of this kind of family arrangement: the US and Spain. This study reveals that FBw couples are more egalitarian than other types of couples and that FBw couples have changed significantly in Spain, whereas their characteristics have been more stable in the US. Regarding couples' allocation of time, there is a reversal in the gender gap in the US in terms of time spent in housework with men doing more. In Spain, there is no reversal, and women still do more housework even when they are the only employed member of a couple. In both countries, men in FBw families provide more childcare than women.Las parejas en las que solo trabaja la mujer son inusuales y representan una asignación atípica de roles en el hogar. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las parejas en las que solo trabaja la mujer y su división de los roles de género en Estados Unidos y España. Este estudio revela que estas parejas son más igualitarias que otros tipos de parejas y que esta tipología de pareja ha cambiado significativamente en España, mientras que sus características permanecen más estables en Estados Unidos. Se observa una inversión en la brecha de género en Estados Unidos en cuanto al tiempo dedicado al trabajo doméstico. En España no hay inversión, y las mujeres siguen haciendo más tareas domésticas, incluso cuando son el único miembro empleado de la pareja. 22020-01-0120202020-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/236787https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5477/cis/reis.170.73reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
