abstract: 'This paper aims to confirm economic and social inequality between

  households headed by women versus by men in Costa Rica. For this, the

  variables of time dedicated to different activities and income received

  by both heads of households will be taken into account, based on sample

  data obtained in the National Survey of Time Use 2017. Average data of

  variables of the heads of household time and income were used in the

  analysis. As a result, differences are verified between the time

  dedicated to unpaid and paid work by male and female heads of household,

  as well as differences between the remuneration received for their main

  activity. This evidence leads us to reflect on the need to implement

  public policies that compensate for the unequal situation suffered by

  households headed by women.'
