Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the division of public and private space in a group of 744 Spanish teachers (62.5% are female and 37.4% are male) with an average age of 41.3 years old (SD: 9.9), and responding to a questionnaire package: the socio-demographic variables and Time spent on housework (adapted from Martinez, 1995). The results showed that there were very much female teachers in Education, especially in Primary Education. But male teachers play the highest positions of responsibility in their work. Most female teachers spend more time on household chores that male teachers. This shows that there are differences between genders in the division of public and private space within the collective teacher.
