Abstract

We analyze the relationship between sex-ratios in the region of residence, and the time devoted to paid and unpaid work by couples in Mexico (2002, 2009, 2014), Peru (2010), Ecuador (2012), Colombia (2012, 2017) and Chile (2015). We find that sex-ratios are negatively related to the time devoted by women to paid work in Ecuador, and positively related to the time devoted by men to paid work in Mexico and Chile. In Colombia, sex-ratios are negatively related to the time devoted by men to unpaid work, while in Mexico and Peru they are negatively related to the time devoted by women to unpaid work. These results illustrate the importance of studying this topic in countries where the evidence is scarce, mainly due to limitations in the data.

拉丁美洲家庭中的性别比例和工作:来自墨西哥、秘鲁、厄瓜多尔、哥伦比亚和智利的证据

我们分析了墨西哥(2002年、2009年、2014年)、秘鲁(2010年)、厄瓜多尔(2012年)、哥伦比亚(2012年、2017年)和智利(2015年)居住地区的性别比例与夫妻用于有偿和无偿工作的时间之间的关系。我们发现，在厄瓜多尔，性别比例与女性从事有偿工作的时间呈负相关，而在墨西哥和智利，性别比例与男性从事有偿工作的时间呈正相关。在哥伦比亚，性别比例与男子从事无报酬工作的时间呈负相关，而在墨西哥和秘鲁，性别比例与妇女从事无报酬工作的时间呈负相关。这些结果说明了在主要由于数据的限制而缺乏证据的国家研究这一主题的重要性。
