dc.description.abstractThis study was undertaken to examine the attitudes of employed husbands toward household work in Nigerian families: A case study of Kaduna state. Four objectives and four research questions were raised. Four null hypotheses were postulated which are as follows: there is no significant relationship between employed husbands’ educational attainment and their attitudes toward the performance of household work. Secondly, there is no significant relationship between the occupations of employed husbands and their attitudes toward the performance of household work in their families. Thirdly, there is no significant difference between the participation of employed husbands in traditional and modern roles in the family. Fourthly there is no significant relationship between the types of families that employed husbands have and the household tasks they like to participate in. A survey research method was adopted, and a selfdesigned questionnaire was used in collecting data for the study. Using random sampling method, a sample of five hundred and twelve (512) was selected from a population of five thousand, one hundred and twenty-eight (5,128). The sample was drawn from Kaduna state civil service commission, in six local government areas. Stratified random sampling technique was used to classify the population into husbands and wives. The data collected was subjected to statistical analysis, using the frequency and percentages, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, Paired T-test and Spearman Rank Order correlation procedure. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between employed husbands’ educational attainment, occupation and their attitudes toward the performance of household work in their families. There is also a significant relationship between the types of families that employed husbands have and the household tasks they like or dislike participating in, and there is a significant difference between the participation of employed husbands in traditional and modern roles. In light of the findings, some recommendations that would help husbands’ positive attitudes toward household work and their participation in household work have been made. For example, religious organizations and mass media should create awareness and encourage husbands to see the need to participate in household tasks, which should cut across all members of the family.en_US
