Abstract

Resumen: El presente artículo analiza la forma como las personas toman decisiones sobre el tiempo que dedican a actividades en el mercado —trabajo remunerado— y a la producción de bienes y servicios domésticos —trabajo no remunerado—. Para esto, se construye un modelo de ecuaciones simultáneas que explica la cantidad de tiempo dedicada a estos dos tipos de actividades. El modelo se estima para hombres y mujeres que tienen empleo en el mercado laboral. Después de corregir algunos problemas econométricos, se encuentra que las decisiones son diferentes para hombres y mujeres. para estas últimas, las variables asociadas con demandas surgidas de la necesidad de producción de bienes y servicios domésticos aumentan el tiempo que ellas dedican a producción de estos, aunque no siempre disminuyendo el tiempo que dedican al mercado laboral. Abstract: This article analyzes the decisions people make about devoting time to labor market activities (paid labor) and domestic production of goods and services (unpaid labor). This is done with the help of a simultaneous equation model that explains the amount of time devoted to each activity. After dealing with some econometric problems, we obtain results that indicate that men and women make different decisions. In the case of women, variables associated with the demand for domestically produced goods and services play a significant role, increasing the amount of time devoted to these activities, although not always lowering the time for labor market activities.
