abstract: 'In most industrial countries women earn less in employment than men.
|
|
|
|
This paper investigates the reasons for this fact. Specifically it
|
|
|
|
considers in detail the relationship between domestic labour and gender
|
|
|
|
inequalities in income. Using evidence from Australia the paper explores
|
|
|
|
the impact on earnings of both responsibility for domestic labour and
|
|
|
|
time spent on domestic labour. Earlier research suggested that
|
|
|
|
responsibility for domestic labour is a greater constraint on women''s
|
|
|
|
position in paid labour than the actual time spent on it. The paper also
|
|
|
|
seeks to discover whether the relationship between the housework and
|
|
|
|
paid labour is qualitatively and quantitatively different for men and
|
|
|
|
women. Using regression analysis the paper provides empirical evidence
|
|
|
|
about these relations and argues that gender inequities in wages are
|
|
|
|
based, at least in part, on the structure of the household system.
|
|
|
|
Policies aimed at reducing the male-female wage gap will need to take
|
|
|
|
account of this.'
