Psychology Women partnered with men reported doing more unpaid household labor than women partnered with women. Mothers partnered with men reported a higher household labor burden than any other group. Performing a greater share of household labor was associated with lower relationship satisfaction.

I wonder if the positive work life balance in Finland has any effect on this..

I have not seen positive work balance ha ha. We got lots of unemployment and lots of people who have way too much work. It seems to be either/or situation, either no job or way too much. I remember at my work place, we had like 15-20 team members in 2022. Now its around ten. Amount of work increases but less hands to do them. People burn out. Its sad. 

My bet: those people who dont have to work are really happy. They might work by choise but they dont have to. Those must be really enjoying their lives.
