No 554, Department of Economics - Working Papers Series from The University of Melbourne

Abstract: Using the 1992 Australian Time-Use Survey, empirical estimates are obtained of the determinants of unpaid work in the household by each adult. Eight types of unpaid work are examined. Wage rate and demographic variables are found to exert most influence on household time devoted to unpaid work.
