Precedent researches have suggested that it depends on situations where couples are placed how far husbands' sharing of housework increases wives' marital satisfaction. The present study focuses on wives' income contribution to the household, and examines whether the effect of husbands' sharing of housework on wives' marital satisfaction differs according to the extent to which wives financially contribute to the household. Japanese nationally representative data collected in 1999 are analyzed. The results are as follows. For couples with small children, husbands' sharing of housework always increases wives' marital satisfaction despite the level of wives' contributions to the household income. For couples without such small children, however, the effect of husbands' housework performance differs between wives with higher income contributions and those with no or smaller contributions. Our data shows that, for wives who earn more than 30% of their household income, husbands' performance of housework has positive effects on wives' marital satisfaction, whereas for wives who earn less than 30% of the household income, husbands' sharing of housework has no effect on wives' marital satisfaction. On the basis of these results, it is discussed that the gendered division of housework, where wives perform almost all household tasks, brings about different consequences to individuals depending on gender and whether or not husbands play the role of a sole breadwinner.<br><br>Key words: housework, marital satisfaction,<br>  wife's contribution to the household income
