Abstract
ABSTRACT Using the Canadian General Social Survey of 2016, a large nationally representative dataset, the present paper examines how satisfaction with one’s physical appearance correlates with the division of household chores, as well as satisfaction with this division. The results show that satisfaction with one’s physical appearance negatively associates with the level of contribution to household chores for female partners. In addition, holding the number of chores constant, satisfaction with one’s physical appearance predicts a greater satisfaction with the division of chores for both genders, with a somewhat larger marginal effect for male partners. Hence, the results provide evidence for the positive influence of physical appearance on intra-household bargaining power. The implications are discussed, and venues for future research are proposed.
