Abstract
The processes transforming the gender contract of family systems over the past decades are considered. The traditional gender contract has lost its universalism and rigorism. The economic foundation of the family is provided by both sides, i.e. it is divided within the married couple. However, the power of traditional gender role specialization leads to disproportionately excessive participation of women in unpaid domestic service work, which is an important part of the shadow gender contract. The paper analyzes the gender structuring of paid and unpaid maintenance work of family members, the different «temporal density» of leisure time for men and women, the loss of a man's leadership in the family in the conditions of traditional distribution of responsibilities; the conflicting balance of gender roles for women of creative professions.
