Gender Norms and the Gendered Distribution of Total Work in Latin American Households
利用墨西哥、秘鲁和厄瓜多尔的时间使用调查数据，研究性别规范如何解释男女总劳动时间（包括有酬和无酬劳动）的性别差距，发现更平等的国家总劳动性别分布更均衡。
This study uses time-use survey data for Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador (from 2009, 2010, and 2012, respectively) to analyze differences between countries in terms of the gendered distribution of total work, which includes both paid and unpaid work. It explores whether the variations in the total time worked by women and men, and, particularly, the gender gap unfavorable to women, can be explained by substantive national differences in gendered social norms. Using data from the World Values Survey (WVS; 2010–14), this study computes a gender norms index to measure cross-country differences in gender norms. It finds that more egalitarian countries exhibit higher levels of equality in the gendered distribution of total work.
