What Is the Price of Freedom? Estimating Women’s Willingness to Pay for Job Schedule Flexibility
通过激励性离散选择实验,研究发展中国家女性对灵活工作安排(弹性日程和兼职)的支付意愿,发现女性对全职弹性日程支付意愿高,但对兼职支付意愿低,且支付意愿因收入和时间需求而异。
We conducted a discrete choice experiment to elicit women’s revealed preferences regarding job schedule flexibility (flexible scheduling and part-time employment) in a developing country context. We did so with an incentivized methodology for job seekers. On average, women have a high willingness to pay for a flexible schedule within a full-time contract but a much lower desire to trade wages for part-time contracts. The willingness to pay for a flexible work arrangement is largest for more affluent women, while willingness to pay for part-time employment is highest among those with higher time demands.
