“…Furthermore, couples are more productive in housework than singles (Vernon 2010). Given that all households involve a certain level of housework, collaboration and specialization tend to improve productivity in the industries, as well as in housework, and a household of couples is more likely to generate both collaboration and specialization in housework than is a household of singles.…”

Interregional Migration and Transportation Improvements in Iceland

This article examines the relationship between migration and transportation improvements. More precisely, will transportation improvements between central business districts (CBDs) and rural areas make migration trends more favorable in rural areas? Due to household utility geographical differentials, there are interregional migration. Thus, it is resaonable to believe that transportation improvements that increase the access of rural population to the labor and the service market of CBDs will influence interregional migration in rural areas positively. I will examine whether this is true for Iceland, a thinly populated area with two CBDs. A macro panel data set from Iceland will be used. It represents several essential varaibles of the house market for seventy-nine municipalities in Iceland during the period from 1986 to 2006. Furthermore, I will investigate whether there are any gender aspects regarding the matter.

“…Further, interhousehold specialization cannot account for differences in household or leisure time between single women and men. Compared with men, women do more housework and care work, regardless of marital status (Bianchi et al 2000; Casper and Bianchi 2010; Sayer 2005, 2016; South and Spitze 1994; Vernon 2010). …”

Marital Status and Mothers’ Time Use: Childcare, Housework, Leisure, and Sleep

2018

Assumptions that single mothers are "time poor" compared with married mothers are ubiquitous. We tested theorized associations derived from the time poverty thesis and the gender perspective using the 2003-2012 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS). We found marital status differentiated housework, leisure, and sleep time, but did not influence the amount of time that mothers provided childcare. Net of the number of employment hours, married mothers did more housework and slept less than never-married and divorced mothers, counter to expectations of the time poverty thesis. Never-married and cohabiting mothers reported more total and more sedentary leisure time than married mothers. We assessed the influence of demographic differences among mothers to account for variation in their time use by marital status. Compositional differences explained more than two-thirds of the variance in sedentary leisure time between married and never-married mothers, but only one-third of the variance between married and cohabiting mothers. The larger unexplained gap in leisure quality between cohabiting and married mothers is consistent with the gender perspective.

“…Although separate estimation can be justified, it raises the issue of how to report results. It is not uncommon for researchers to report means and regression coefficients separately for weekends and weekdays with no mention of overall means or the effect of covariates on overall time use (for example, Kalenkoski, Ribar, and Stratton, 2007;Kimmel and Connelly, 2007;Connelly and Kimmel, 2009;and Vernon, 2010 …”

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. Given day-to-day variation in how people spend their time, this distinction is analytically important. We examine the conditions necessary to make inferences about the time use of individuals from a sample of person-days. We also discuss whether and how surveys with multiple household members or multiple days are an improvement over single-diary surveys. JEL Classification:C81, D13, C83
