English translation:gender-based distribution of household responsibilities
Explanation:
I guess - but only guess - that what they means is simply how the household-related chores are distributed set between a man and woman. I am sure you will be able to come up with a better phrasing than what I offered inthe Target Term, field.

disagree  Marek Mikus: Seems to me a bit over-confident interpretation of the title. Might be as well related to gendered division of labour in the actual labor market, i.e. not necessarily confined to the household. + 'distribution of labor' is less preferable to 'division'.

disagree  Marek Mikus: 'Sexual' (biologicke pohlavi) DOES NOT EQUAL 'gender' etc. (socialne konstruovany rod). The wiki paragraph is an ideological interpretation (just like the one I propose, only that mine is more in line with the dominant discourse, sorry).

Gender division of labour ( http://www.bigpond.com.kh/users/gad/glossary/gender.htm )

means an overall societal pattern where women are allotted one set of gender roles, and men allotted another set. Unequal gender division of labour refers to a gender division of labour where there is an unequal gender division of reward. Discrimination against women in this sense means that women get most of the burden of labour, and most of the unpaid labour, but men collect most of the income and rewards resulting from the labour. In many countries, the most obvious pattern in the gender division of labour is that women are mostly confined to unpaid domestic work and unpaid food production, whereas men dominate in cash crop production and wage employment

Gendered division of labour


Explanation:
I don't think there is anything fundamentaly wrong with 'gender-based division of labour' and its variants, however I find 'gendered division of labour' a more concise expression.

I would just like to add I must disagree with the proposed 'distribution of labour'. 'Division of labour' is clearly the prefential and well-established term here.

31 mins
  -> One would be almost led to think wiki is the only and ultimate reference in all fields of knowledge. No idea what this is supposed to show, however please note 'occupational segregation' may be based on many characteristics of workers including gender.
