Abstract

While Switzerland has made some progress over the past few decades in treating men and women more equally, this study intends to find out whether Swiss men and women’s food consumption patterns also converged between 1990 and 2017. After analysing 1.8 million observations of one-member households’ food baskets, we found that gender gaps are increasing significantly for 16 of 70 studied foods, decreasing significantly for another 16 of 70 studied foods and not changing significantly for more than half of the studied foods. On average, the gender gap in food consumption in Switzerland has increased over time. We conclude that behavioural differences between genders and culturally induced gender differences (e.g., unequal career chances) are largely unrelated.

行为上的性别差距在缩小吗？瑞士单身家庭食品消费的证据

过去几十年来，瑞士在更加平等地对待男性和女性方面取得了一些进步，本研究旨在了解瑞士男性和女性的食品消费模式是否也在 1990 年至 2017 年间趋于一致。在分析了 180 万个一人家庭的食品篮观测数据后，我们发现，在 70 种研究食品中，有 16 种食品的性别差距显著扩大，另有 16 种食品的性别差距显著缩小，超过一半的研究食品的性别差距没有显著变化。平均而言，瑞士食品消费中的性别差距随着时间的推移而扩大。我们的结论是，两性之间的行为差异和文化导致的性别差异（如职业机会不平等）在很大程度上是不相关的。
