The similarity of roles and activities of men and women is a distinct indication of a modern liberal society, which advocates the equality of both men and women. In all other known societies, the roles of men and women are opposite

The survey findings show that in Kazakhstan women are responsible for housework. The women surveyed stated that they do most housework such as washing, cleaning, cooking, and shopping. Only providing forage for domestic animals is the responsibility of other members of the family.
To make the description of house duties more demonstrative we take into account responses of only married women surveyed (both officially registered and not registered). Men do only a small part of the housework except for work in the garden, taking care of and providing forage for domestic animals, i.e., work done outside the house. As the survey results show, the stereotype of “masculine” behaviour is common to all social and demographic groups. Only two factors—ethnic origin and area of living—strongly influence the stereotype.
