Gender equality has been uneven in individual institutions (f.e., the labor market and education) and family ones (MacDonald 2000). The household lags behind individual institutions. The gender transition as one of the historical concepts of the stepwise development of gender equality predicts a stage of equality in both individual and household institutions (Kalabikhina 2009). That is the last stage of gender transition. How can we measure the completeness of gender transition? How can we define the arrival of the last balanced egalitarian stage? We have simple indicator for the different stages of the gender transition. That is the gender gap in unpaid work. However we do not know what is the breaking point of this gap when the egalitarian stage will come. 50:50 rule does not work here. I develop a set of economic conditions from research evidences that can serve as indicators and signs of the egalitarian stage of gender transition. Some of them are following. 1) The economic rationality in the time allocation prevail over socio-cultural (gender) norm (Bittman, England, Sayer, Folbre & Matheson 2003, Onozaka & Hafzi 2019). 2) The relationship between the level of female employment (or women's income) and the level of fertility (or the stability of marriage) changes from a negative to a positive one (Engelhardt & Prskawetz 2004). 3) The utility function of household member includes (egalitarian) gender relations (Mader & Schneebaum 2013, Woolley 1990). 4) The assortative mating in marriage markets is adapted to a new gender structure in all types of institutions (Van Bavel & Klesment 2017). 5) The agency of women is based on the ‘power within’ (Rowlands 1995, Kabeer 2005, O’Hara & Clement 2018), etc. The full set of main features of gender equality is based on economic literature review of feminist theories and evidences, will be presented in the study.
