説明

Beginning in June 2005, I conducted interviews with individual male home helpers.　In this paper, I consider effect of male helpers on gender norms in caring and gender relationships in the workplace, seeing male helpers as a form of "agency" which affects gender structures.<br>　While many male helpers think of home help work as a valuable job, a lot of users avoid male helpers in keeping with their gender norms. Facing this difficulty, male helpers adopt two strategies - assimilation and differentiation. The assimilation strategy is adopted mainly by young helpers who make a positive effort to undertake household assistance and try to improve their poor cooking skills. The differentiation strategy is adopted mainly by male helpers in his 60's who are reluctant to undertake household assistance such as cooking and claim the existence of the "work for male helpers" within home help work. Of these two strategies, the assimilation strategy is more likely to change existing gender role structures.<br>　But at the same time, young male helpers tend to try to acquire higher and more stable positions such as that of chief of a branch office. This tendency, on part of young helpers, brings about vertical sex segregation between higher male jobs and lower female jobs.Moreover the existence of a lot of female part-time helpers who also work as housewives makes it easy to justify male helpers' occupying the higher positions such that of chief.The gender norm in a private domain which prescribes a male to be a breadwinner and a female to be a secondary earner structure the gender segregation in home help works.
