Gender
Inequalities in Allocating Time to Paid and Unpaid Work: Evidence from
Bolivia – Working Paper
# 34
In this Working Paper
Marcelo Medeiros, Rafael Osorio and Joana Costa analyze inequalities in paid
and unpaid work-time among Bolivian urban adults using time use data from a 2001
household survey. They find very high levels of within-group inequality in the
distributions of paid and unpaid work-time for both men and women. They show
that gender is an important variable to explain how much paid and unpaid
work is done by individuals, but not so important to explain why some people
have a higher total workload than others.
