A study by Chesley and Moen (2006) found that "more women (13.4%) than men (9.6%) [of middle-class, dual-earner couples] provide care consistently…, whereas more men (67.2%) than women (61.8%) have no caregiving responsibilties." (p.1258)

This study uses data from the Ecology of Careers Study, using only dual-earner, middle class couples (N=884 couples). "These couples are relatively affluent and well educated, and most respondents (95%) are White." (p.1256-1257)
