Why choose this project topic?
The focus on gendered patterns in reported routine unpaid care and the way participants divide household tasks gives the project a specific question and a visible evidence trail. A task-based schedule moves the discussion from general attitudes to the everyday distribution participants can describe. A bounded design makes it possible to explain what the selected evidence supports without presenting a proposal as a completed study.
How do adult participants describe the division of routine unpaid care across household members in the selected study population?
Agree the care tasks, recall period and community population, the evidence window and the analysis plan with the supervisor before fixing the final title or recruiting participants.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the concepts and population needed to study gendered patterns in reported routine unpaid care and the way participants divide household tasks.
- 02Document or measure the proposed evidence from consenting adult participants recruited through an approved community route.
- 03Interpret the evidence using the stated comparison and explain its limits.
A suggested research approach
Use a short time-use schedule with clear task definitions, allow non-binary self-description where appropriate and avoid pressuring household members to reconcile separate accounts Use consenting adult participants recruited through an approved community route only after confirming access, eligibility and a workable time window. Summarise task time and responsibility separately by self-described gender and household role, protecting small groups from identification Keep the protocol, exclusions and measurement definitions in an audit trail; discuss missing or contradictory evidence instead of treating it as confirmation.
What you will need
- Ethics approval, a privacy-preserving adult-participant plan and a culturally reviewed task schedule
- A supervisor-agreed protocol defining gendered patterns in reported routine unpaid care and the way participants divide household tasks and the relevant measures or coding rules
- A dated evidence log and a plan for confidentiality, permissions and any required ethics review
Keep your project scope clear
The proposed design can describe or compare only the evidence it collects. A small voluntary sample cannot represent all households, and reported time use may not capture every form of care work. Do not extend a local, simulated or self-reported result to a wider population without a design that supports that inference.
