Abstract

[ger] Gibt es in einer erweiterten Familie eine Arbeitsteilung? . Von Guy Lacroix, Michel Picot und Catherine Sofer.. . Die Analyse des Arbeitsangebotes hat die Notwendigkeit aufgezeigt, zunächst vom Individuum zum Privathaushalt und danach vom einheitlichen Privathaushalt zum einzelnen Privathaushalt als Ort strategischer Wechselwirkungen überzugehen. Stellt der Privathaushalt jedoch wirklich die relevante Bezugseinheit dar, die es zu berücksichtigen gilt, oder sollten in die Analyse nicht zusätzliche Daten über die erweiterte Familie (Großeltern, erwachsene Kinder, Haushalt eines Binders oder einer Schwester) mit einbezogen werden, in der eine Wechselwirkung zwischen einer Reihe von Haushalten besteht und in der insbesondere ein gewisse Anzahl von Diensten ausgetauscht wird? In diesem Artikel präsentieren wir ein Arbeitsangebotsmodell im Rahmen der erweiterten Familie, wobei die Verwendung einer Funktion des für sie einzigen Nutzens als Grundlage dient. Danach testen wir die Hypothèse einer ricardianischen Arbeitsteilung in der erweiterten Familie anhand der Schätzung einer reduzierten Form des ursprünglichen Modells, wobei wir eine Erhebung verwenden, die das INSEE, die GEDISST und das CNRS zur Analyse des Austausches zwischen Mitgliedern des Familiennetzes durchführten. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse bestätigen das Modell der Zeitallokation in der erweiterten Familie und somit das Vorhandensein einer Wechselwirkung zwischen den Verhaltensweisen der verschiedenen Haushalte, aus denen sie sich zusammensetzt. [fre] Y a-t-il une division du travail dans la famille élargie ? . par Guy Lacroix, Michel Picot et Catherine Sofer.. . L'analyse de l'offre de travail a montré la nécessité de passer de l'individu au ménage, puis du ménage unitaire au ménage considéré comme un lieu d'interactions stratégiques. Mais le ménage est-il bien l'unité de référence pertinente à considérer, ou bien l'analyse ne devrait-elle pas intégrer des données supplémentaires relatives à la famille élargie (grands-parents, enfants adultes, ménage d'un frère ou d'une sœur), au sein de laquelle interagissent un certain nombre de ménage et s'échangent en particulier un certain nombre de services ? Nous présentons ici un modèle d'offre de travail dans le cadre de la famille élargie, à partir de l'utilisation d'une fonction d'utilité unique pour celle-ci. Nous testons ensuite l'hypothèse d'une division ricardienne du travail dans la famille élargie à partir de l'estimation d'une forme réduite du modèle initial, en utilisant nue enquête réalsée par l'Insee, le Gedisst et le CNRS pour traiter des échanges entre membres du réseau familial. Les résultats confirment le modèle d'allocation du temps dans la famille élargie et donc l'existence d'une interaction entre les comportements des différents ménages qui la composent. [eng] Is There a Division of Labour in the Extended Family? . by Guy Lacroix, Michel Picot and Catherine Sofer.. . Labour supply analysis has shown the need to shift from the individual to the household, and then from the unitary household to the household as a place of strategic interactions. Yet is the household really the appropriate reference unit to be considering? Or should an analysis integrate additional data on the extended family (grandparents, adult children and households of one brother or one sister) in which a certain number of households interact and exchange a certain number of services? This article proposes a labour supply model focusing on the extended family and based on the use of a single utility function for the extended family. We test the hypothesis of a Ricardian division of labour in the extended family based on the estimate of a reduced version of the initial model and using a survey by INSEE, Gedisst and the CNRS to analyze exchanges between members of the family network. The results confirm the time allocation model in the extended family and thus the existence of interaction between the behaviour of the different households making up the extended family. [spa] ¿ Hay una división del trabajo en la familia ampliada ? . Por Guy Lacroix, Michel Picot y Catherine Sofer.. . El análisis de la oferta de trabajo ha mostrado la necesidad de pasar del individuo al hogar, y luego del hogar unitario al hogar considerado como una liza de interacciones estratégicas. ¿Pero es el hogar la unidad de referencia pertinente a considerar, o bien el análisis no debería acaso integrar dates adicionales relativos a la familia ampliada (abuelos, niños adultes, matrimonio de un hermano o de una hermana), en el seno de la cual interactúan un cierto número de hogares y se prestan en particular un cierto número de servicios? Aquí presentamos un modelo de oferta laboral dentro del marco de la familia ampliada, a partir de la utilización de una función de utilidad única para ésta. Probamos luego la hipótesis de una división ricardiana del trabajo en la familia ampliada a partir de la estimación de una forma reducida del modelo inicial, utilizando una encuesta realizada por el Insee, el Gedisst y el CNRS para tratar intercambios entre miembros de la red familiar. Los resultados confirman el modelo de atribución del tiempo en la familia ampliada y por lo tanto la existencia de una interacción entre los comportamientos de los diferentes hogares que la componen.
