Gender division of household labour in Mediterranean and Continental Croatia: An analysis of the 2017 survey results

The paper presents and discusses the results of the 2017 nationally representative survey related to the gender division of household labour in Mediterranean and Continental Croatia. The aim of the analysis is to test the hypothesis that there exist differences in the gender division of household labour in different Croatian regions. Namely, our previous research has shown that there exist differences in attitudes, values and practices of women in culturally different parts of the country (Tomić-Koludrović, Kunac, 2000 ; Tomić-Koludrović, 2015, Tomić-Koludrović, Zdravković, 2015). The results of the nationally representative survey of men and women, carried out within Croatian Science Foundation funded project on relational gender identities (GENMOD - HRZZ 6010), are analysed within an interpretive framework that seeks to understand the differences in internal household dynamics as an indicator of the “mode of modernity” (Touraine) at work in the analysed context. The specific character of these modes is, in turn, viewed not only as an indicator of cultural-regional differentiation but also as an indicator of the socio-economic developmental potential of different Croatian regions.
