Gender Variation in Time Allocation of Unpaid Household Work
Dr. Konita Basumatary; Dr. Mridula DeviWhile there has been progress in achieving gender equality over the past few decades, there is still inequality related to gender norms, an unequal distribution of home duties, and unpaid childcare obligations. According to the study, there is a significant gender gap in participation and time use for tasks like providing unpaid domestic services to household members, helping to produce goods for personal consumption, and providing unpaid care for household members, where female participation and average time use are higher than those of their male counterparts.In this paper, the investigator tried to analyze time use patterns between paid and unpaid activities depending on gender, age, and educational level, among other factors.
