abstract: 'This paper departs from the hypothesis that policies targeting time

  poverty have the potential to reduce the gender income gap through the

  redistribution of time use between women and men. To this purpose, we

  compare two policy mixes and assess the synergies between working time

  reduction and two univer-sal income schemes: a basic income and care

  income programme. While the former provides every indi-vidual with an

  equal monetary benefit, the latter ties monetary benefits to the amount

  of unpaid and care work performed by individuals. We assess the impact

  of these policy mixes by applying Eurogreen, a macrosimulation model

  tailored to Italy. Results suggest that while working time reduction

  directly drives a reduction of the aggregate amount of time spent by

  women in unpaid work, this does not imply a reduction in time poverty.

  The universal income schemes - and in particular the care income -

  promote a reduction of gender inequality in terms of income by

  sustaining women''s total income, but leave the wage gap between women

  and men unchanged.(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
