This study starts from the assumption that the context of opportunities for work-family balance affects individual attitudes toward gender roles, a main indicator of support for gender equality. Compared with extant research, the present study adopts a more articulated definition of “opportunity structure” that includes national income level and social norms on gender attitudes, measures of gender-mainstreaming policies implemented at the company level (flextime), and different work-family balance policies in support of the dual-earner/dual-caregiver family model (e.g., parental-leave schemes and childcare provisions). The effects of these factors are estimated by performing a cross-sectional multilevel analysis for the year 2014. Gender-role attitudes and micro-level controls are taken from the Eurobarometer for all 28 European Union (EU) members, while macro-indicators stem from Eurostat, European Quality of Work Survey, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Our results show that both institutional and workplace arrangements supporting the dual-earner/dual-caregiver family model are associated with more egalitarian gender-role attitudes This is particularly true concerning availability of formal childcare for 0- to 3-year-olds among institutional factors, as well as work-schedule flexibility among workplace factors, probably as they enable a combination of care and paid work for both men and women.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the gender role ideology of Korean dual-earner couples on marital satisfaction through work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict. The subjects of the study were 4059 participants (2434 men and 1625 women) in South Korea selected from the 2015 Fact-Finding Survey in Families. Results of the study revealed that women scored higher on gender role ideology and family-to-work conflict, but men scored higher on work-to-family conflict and marital satisfaction. Gender role ideology had a significant indirect relationship on marital satisfaction through family-to-work conflict for men in the study, but there was no significant indirect relationship found for the women studied. Gender differences existed between marital satisfaction and its predicting variables. Based on the results of this study, the discussion in this article addresses implications and future research directions.
