Australian Economic Papers, 1999, vol. 38, issue 2, 91-105

Abstract: Using the 1992 Australian Time‐Use Survey, empirical estimates are obtained of the determinants of unpaid work in nuclear household by each adult. Eight types of unpaid work are examined. Wage rates and demographic variables are found to exert most influence on household time devoted to unpaid work. The strongest result is the negative effect of the female wage rate on unpaid work undertaken by females.
