“…Girls are more likely than boys to work inside the home doing household chores, childcare, and elder care (Allais, 2009; Bonke, 2010; Evans, 2010; Webbink et al, 2010), and twice the proportion of girls than boys works more than 28 hours per week doing household chores (Allais, 2009). There is also evidence that the household chores girls and boys do in HIC are gender differentiated (Goodnow, 1988), but there are no available data about the types of household work done in LMIC.…”

“…Some studies focus on the household input of children (Bianchi and Robinson 1997; Hofferth and Sandberg 2001) or teenagers (Benim and Edwards 1990; Bonke 2010; Price et al 2009). The underlying idea is that household chores may compete with time devoted to studying or to developing cognitive skills (Zill, Nord and Loomis 1995), as occurs with any kind of work; thus, chores influence children’s current and future well-being.…”

“…These studies show that teens spend a significant amount of time doing household work and that the demand for that work increases—particularly for girls—when mothers are employed, which supports the time availability hypothesis (Benim and Edwards 1990; Blair 1992). The family’s housing and living standards and the number of substitutes who perform housework are also factors that affect the amount of time children spend on housework (Bonke 2010). …”

This article analyses how two co-residing generations contribute to the housework workload in Italy and France during the early 2000s. It studies the intergenerational exchange of time between young adults and their parents by indirectly comparing the level of domestic comfort enjoyed by young people in the two closely neighbouring countries. A focus on the reasons for staying in the parental home provides an explanation for the tendency of young Italian adults to prolong their stay in the family nest. The results of time-use surveys suggest that young Italians (especially young men) may benefit more than their French counterparts in co-residing with their parents. Beyond the compositional or structural effects, they perform fewer domestic tasks than their French counterparts, a result that is related to different cultural practices.

“…The youngest children, namely infants and toddlers are absolutely dependent on their parents. When children are young and learning life skills they are likely to do little housework, especially independently (Bonke, 2010). When children grow, they develop their abilities and skills and are able to do more (Craig et al, 2015) and many different things until they become completely independent from their parents.…”

“…But children not only demand housework, they also supply housework within the family. Hence research conceptualizing the domestic workload as the combined inputs of couples overlooks that family units include others who could contribute, including teenagers and young adults (Bonke, 2010). Children, teenagers and young adults usually do much less housework in comparison with their parents and therefore monetary value of their housework is not recognized.…”

The paper deals with unpaid work in Slovak households whilst focusing upon unpaid work performed by younger members of the household. Studies of unpaid work of people up to 26 years are still not well documented in literature. The aim of this paper is twofold: First, it seeks to answer the question whether people with a lower-income status in Slovakia spend more time performing unpaid work in households in comparison to people with a higher-income status, and hence whether household income is an important determinant of unpaid housework performed by younger members of Slovak households. Second, the paper aims to determine also other factors that influence the volume of unpaid housework performed by younger members of Slovakia households. The results suggest that people in lower-income households in Slovakia spend more time in household labour than people in higherincome households. This applies to routine, non-routine as well as care household work. According to the results from a regression analysis, factors different from income are important determinants of household labour of younger members of Slovak households. Key words unpaid work, household, income, younger members up to 26 years, determinants of unpaid work JEL classification D13, J22 1 Note: despite there being some difference between family and household, for the purposes of our analysis taking into consideration also research sample which is under consideration in the paper, we are going to use these terms interchangeably. Similarly, we are going to use the terms household labor, housework and unpaid work in households interchangeably.
