The purpose of this study was to investigate husbands' and wives' attitudes toward the employment of married women. The data was obtained through a questionaire answered by 326 graduates of Tokyo Woman's Christian University and their husbands-that is to say, by 326 married couples. The questionnaire consisting of 12 items on their opinions and attitudes concerning women working aimed at establishing: (a) how much husbands and wives are free from the traditional idea that is a woman's place is in the home; (b) how much husbands participate in housework, and (c) how much these women participate in the labor market. The following four hypotheses were made: (1) wives would show a more flexible attitude toward the traditional ideas of sex roles than would husbands, (2) the younger generation would be more unconventional than the older generation, (3) childless couples would be more unconventional than couples with children, and (4) couples in which the wives had a job would support more unconventional ideas than would couples in which the wives had no job. The actual findings were as follows; Wives were open-minded and flexible in all three areas. However, the second hypothesis, that the younger generation would be more unconventional than the older generation, was found to be untenable. Upon the birth of children, the husbands' idea concerning women showed a tendency to grow more conservative; they began to expect women to lay more stress on housekeeping and care of their children, though the husbands did not think that they themselves should do more housework. On the other hand, with a birth of children, wives did not change their ideas of their social and domestic roles. Comparing the cases where the wives had jobs with those where they did not, both husbands and wives in the former case were more unconventional than those in the latter case concerning the women's social and domestic roles; however, concerning husbands' participation in housework, there was no difference between the former and the latter groups.
