A Difference-in-Differences estimation procedure of market and domestic work of both partners is adopted to study the changes in the allocation of market and domestic work among Italian married or cohabiting adults in their 50s and 60s after the retirement of man. Estimation results allow us to evaluate how much men increase their commitment in domestic activities as effect of the transition to retirement and how much this propensity is hampered by the gender ideology's influence. This result has been obtained providing proper methodological instruments to specify the gender attitudes' influenceFile in questo prodotto:
