His and Hers: Gender Differences in Work and Income, 1959-1979
描述了1959至1979年间25-64岁男女的工作时间和收入变化,尝试衡量市场工作、非市场生产及休闲的价值,发现1979年女性相对男性在商品、服务和休闲上的获取比1959年更低。
This paper describes changes in hours of work and income between 1959 and 1979 of women and men ages 25-64. It includes attempts to measure and value nonmarket production and leisure as well as market work, to take account of possible income sharing within households, and to allow for economies of scale in household production. The most important empirical result is that, relative to men, women's access to goods and services and leisure was lower in 1979 than in 1959. Changes in hourly earnings, hours of work, and household structure contributed to this result. The sex differential in hourly earnings is explored in detail.
