abstract: 'Across many countries, girls perform more unpaid work than boys. This

  article shows how the time young women and girls spend in unpaid

  household work contributes to the gender pay gap that is already evident

  by age 22. The study analyzes employment participation, type of

  employment, and wages using five waves of the Young Lives longitudinal

  survey for Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam. Spending longer hours in

  unpaid household work in adolescence positively predicts later

  employment participation but has a scarring effect in negatively

  predicting job quality (that is a job with a private or public

  organization) and hourly earnings, particularly for women.

  Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions of the gender wage gap show young women''s

  penalty for past household work is due to longer hours of such work

  rather than a higher penalty for women for a given amount of unpaid

  work.'
