Abstract

Abstract:A vast international literature has provided evidence on the key role of women in household activities as well as a long-term trend of time reallocation toward a more egalitarian gender division of work. Our objective is to study the changes in gender gaps in home production and the labor market in Uruguay between 2006 and 2013. Our main conclusions are: i) the gender gaps for time spent in the labor market and home production decreased; ii) women increased their time allocated to the labor market and slightly reduced the time spent on home production, whereas the opposite is observable for men; iii) both women and men increased the time allocated to childcare, which resulted in a stable gender gap; iv) both women and men decreased the time spent on other household activities, narrowing the gender gap; and v) this less unequal division of time is also apparent when the gender gaps are measured in monetary terms, although the movement in home production prices did not contribute to reducing the gender gaps.
揭示乌拉圭家庭生产和劳动收入的性别差异变化
摘要:大量的国际文献已经提供了证据,证明妇女在家庭活动中的关键作用,以及时间重新分配的长期趋势,朝着更平等的性别分工。我们的目标是研究2006年至2013年间乌拉圭家庭生产和劳动力市场的性别差距变化。我们的主要结论是:1)劳动力市场和家庭生产时间的性别差距缩小;Ii)女性增加了分配给劳动力市场的时间,略微减少了用于家庭生产的时间,而男性的情况正好相反;女性和男性都增加了分配给儿童保育的时间,这导致了稳定的性别差距;女性和男性都减少了花在其他家庭活动上的时间,缩小了性别差距;当用货币来衡量性别差距时,这种时间分配的不平等程度也很明显,尽管房屋生产价格的变动并没有有助于缩小性别差距。
