Complementary traditional roles refer to when a man is the sole breadwinner and a woman takes care of the household and family. Complementary gender-reversed roles refer to when a woman is the sole breadwinner and a man takes care of the household and family. In reality, both of these models are quite rare. Shared roles, where both partners contribute equally to both paid and unpaid work, are becoming more common. The other options, men's and women's double burden, refer to situations in which an individual is responsible for both paid and unpaid work, which is a common reality for many individuals but not a typical model for the division of work in a household.
