abstract: 'This paper is a comparative analysis of the gender gaps in the non-paid

  domestic and care work (NPDCW) undertaken in homes in Argentina, Chile,

  Spain and Uruguay. The explanatory factors of this gap in two-income

  households and their magnitude and impact on the distribution of NPDCW

  are analyzed using data from national time use surveys. The weakness of

  micro-sociological approaches and the variables related to relative

  resources and time availability is demonstrated using the estimation of

  a regression model, while the importance of approximations of gender

  roles and analyses that incorporate macro-sociological factors is shown.

  Furthermore, the findings show that NPDCW is done by women in 70\% of

  cases with women''s incomes and time availability among the individual

  variables that drive change within the couple. The results show that the

  equalizing effects of time availability and gender ideology are stronger

  for women in more egalitarian countries; women in less egalitarian

  countries benefit less from their individual-level assets. Additional

  comparative analysis shows that other macro-level factors (economic

  development, female labor-force participation, gender norms and welfare

  systems) may also influence the division of this work. The results

  suggest that changes in individual-level factors alone may not be enough

  to achieve an equal division of labor in the household without a

  parallel reduction in macro-level gender inequality.'
