The article provides an empirical examination of the determinants of the division of household labor in contemporary Japan by using National Family Research of Japan 08 (NFRJ08) data, focusing on wife's work status and how they think about gender roles. It has been mainly examined "the relative resources hypothesis", "the demand/response capability hypothesis" and "the gender role ideology hypothesis" as the factor of the division of household labor, especially husband's participation in domestic labor. This paper examines how some factors affect not only on husbands' participation but also wives' one and husbands' relative participation of household labor. It focuses on 3 hypotheses that are "making differences by wife's work status hypothesis" "gender ideology hypothesis", and "making differences by the interaction of gender role attitudes with wife's work status hypothesis". OLS regression results from NFRJ08 data clarifies that wives who work on regularly do fewer housework than non-working wives but wives who have part time work do as almost same as non working wives. Meanwhile, it clarifies that husbands of working part time wives don't do more housework than their counterparts of non working wives and that husbands who agree with the sexual division of labor do less housework, and that husbands who emotionally support their wives do more housework and finally that wives who work regularly and agree with traditional division of labor do more housework than regularly working wives who don't agree with that.
