Gender Inequalities in Allocating Time to Paid and Unpaid Work: Evidence from Bolivia

Chapter 3 in Unpaid Work and the Economy, 2010, pp 58-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we are interested in how gender influences the allocation of time among adults and results in inequalities among individuals. The case we will analyze is that of urban Bolivia, an example of an urban population of a developing country in which the incidence of paid work is higher for men than for women, but where, nonetheless, more than two-thirds of the adult urban female population has a paid job and an even higher proportion of men report doing domestic work.
