This paper presents the results of a preliminary analysis from a larger project exploring the everyday lives of men and women in different-gender (marital or cohabiting) and same-gender relationships in Japan and Hong Kong. This preliminary analysis focuses on housework division and its relation to gender, relationship type, and couple income difference in Japan. The results suggest that gender difference in housework share is prominent among married couples while both men and women in same-gender relationships tend to be similar in being relatively more even in their share of housework with their partners. Further, couple income difference is found to be associated with housework division across all relationship types. The preliminary results provide clues and direction for more thorough multivariate analyses on the data.
