Gender, occupation, and time allocation for market work, commuting, and housework

The objectives of this study were to investigate the determinants of employed women's allocation of time for housework, market work, and commuting; to compare the time allocation by women and men in relation to their hourly wages; and also to compare the time allocation of women in male-dominated and non-male-dominated occupations in relation to their hourly wages. From the 13,017 cases in the NSFH data set, 4,171 employed individuals were selected. They consisted of 1,990 men and 2,181 women who were householders or spouses of householders, between the ages of 25 and 55 years, and living in a household with no live-in relatives.
