Market wages, family composition and the time allocation of children in agricultural households
利用印度半干旱热带农村六个村庄四年的面板数据,分析成年男性和女性及儿童的市场工资率如何影响男孩和女孩在家庭活动、休闲和上学上的时间分配。
Abstract This article draws upon a time allocation survey of a four‐year panel of households from six villages in semi‐arid tropic rural India. The inter‐relationships among adult male. female and child market wage rates, and time allocated to domestic activities, leisure and schooling by boys and girls are analysed. The results based on the pooled time‐series and cross‐section individual observations suggest that adult and child wage rates play an important role in the time allocation of both boys and girls.
