“…Gimenez- Nadal and Molina (2013) analyze the relationship between parents' education and the time devoted to childcare activities, using Spanish and UK time-use data, finding that mothers' education is associated with an increase in the time devoted to educational childcare by fathers in both countries, while it is associated with an 5 increase in the time devoted to educational childcare by mothers only in Spain. Croft et al (2014) find that fathers who help with household chores are more likely to raise daughters who aspire to traditionally male dominating (and potentially higher paying)…”

Using data from the Multinational Time Use Study for the UK, we find positive intergenerational correlations in housework for both parents, indicating that the more time parents devote to housework, the more time their children will devote to housework. However, when endogeneity of the uses of time are considered using the British Household Panel Survey, we find that only fathers' housework time appears to have a statistically significant effect. The IV estimates fully support the FE estimates and suggest that father's housework induced by his partner's non-traditional gender role attitudes towards domestic division of labour and her actual labour supply in the previous wave, has a large and significant effect on children's housework time. Our results contribute to the field of intergenerational mobility of behaviors.

“…is that diary-based estimates of time use are more reliable and accurate than estimates derived from direct questions (Juster and Stafford, 1985;Robinson and Godbey, 1997;Bianchi et al, 2000;Bonke, 2005;Yee-Kan, 2008). The existing time use literature has shown that the time allocation decisions of men and women differ and that the same factors affect men and women differently (Kalenkoski et al, 2005;Aguiar and Hurst, 2007;Connelly and Kimmel, 2009;Gimenez-Nadal and Molina, 2013). Furthermore, Schneider et al (2012) find that the responses to health perception questions vary between male and female respondents.…”

“…In the case of the Netherlands, the survey was carried out during October only, and thus we do not include dummies to control for the month of the diary.

This paper analyses the relationship between health inequality and the time allocation decisions of workers in six European countries, deriving some important policy implications in the context of income tax systems, regulation of working conditions, and taxes on leisure activities. Using the Multinational Time Use Study, we find that a better perception of own health is associated with more time devoted to market work activities in all six countries and with less time devoted to housework activities for both men and women. However, the evidence for the associations between health and leisure is mixed. This study represents a first step in understanding cross-country differences in the relationship between health status and time devoted to a range of activities for workers, in contrast with other analyses that have mainly focused only on market work. A better understanding of these cross-country differences may help to identify the effects of public policy on inequalities in the uses of time. JEL codes: D13, J16, J22

“…Although parental education is not the only factor that predicts children's progress, education can change the outcomes. On the other hand, children who have parents with lower levels of education may have less opportunity in cultivating their talents (32,33). However, education alone cannot be considered a factor for children's progress.…”

Introduction: Many factors including self-efficacy and achievement motivation can affect children's academic progress. Studies have shown that socioeconomic status can affect people's life, education, and vocation. However, not many studies looked at the relations between the intrinsic factors and socioeconomic status, and between these 2 categories and students' academic progress in children with learning disabilities. Thus, the present study aimed at examining self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and academic progress of students with learning disabilities compared with typical students and looking for any possible relation between these variables and socioeconomic status (parental education and occupation). Methods: This was a cross sectional study, which included 34 students with learning disabilities and 32 typical students matched on age, gender, and school grade. The participants answered Sherer et al.'s self-efficacy scale (1982) and Herman's achievement motivation questionnaire (2000). Students' academic progress was evaluated based on the descriptive scores in the first semester. Conclusions:Lower levels of self-efficacy and achievement motivation in students with learning disabilities indicate that relying on only Individualized Educational Program cannot solve problems of these children. The relations between academic progress and different factors (intrinsic and environmental) suggest a complex explanation for the children's lower academic progress.
