Abstract

We provide evidence about UK trends in gender differentials in market work time, domestic work time, and their sum (total work time) between the mid‐1970s and mid‐1980s. The ratio of women's total work hours to men's total work hours changed little, but for both sexes allocations of time to different types of work changed considerably. Breakdowns by marital status reveal additional interesting information. The trends in domestic work time are decomposed into ‘coefficient change’ and ‘compositional change’ components using regression‐based shift‐share methods.
