Division of Labour at Amish Households

The Amish are traditionalists, and they hold traditional beliefs and values. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that they expect their women to work in the home, raise children, do household chores, and generally take care of the home. Men, on the other hand, are the breadwinners of the home.

They work in the fields and farms and are expected to provide for the home. They were solely farmers in earlier centuries, but in the 21st century, they have taken up carpentry and selling farm produce.
