More women depressed due to unequal share of household labor?

In a study conducted at Brown University, an interesting pattern emerged: both men and women were more likely to experience “psychological distress” if they had more household chores to do and if the distribution was unfair. However, more women are experiencing this psychological distress then men. Do you know why?!

“Men’s lower contributions to household labor” (a nice way to say it, right?!) may explain part of the gender difference in depression, that is, that twice as many women experience depression compared to men.
