Whether marriage becomes deinstitutionalized in the U.S. is one of the crucial discussions in family studies. This paper investigates gender gap in housework time across household types by employing American Time Use Survey 2003-2005 and 2013-2015. Knowing the change in the gender gap in housework time across household types helps understand whether marriage is still an institution of “doing gender” as well as whether marriage, by comparing to cohabitation, is deinstitutionalized in a decade in the 2000s. The preliminary result shows that gender gap in housework persists in the married household while it reduces in the cohabitated household.
