Abstract

In Chap. 14 , we examined in detail how partners in couples divide their available time between market labour, childcare and household tasks. In Chap. 15 , we illustrated how the total expenditure on non-durable goods and services is divided between individual private expenditure, expenditure on children (living at home) and other public expenditure relating to the family. Based on the figures in these two chapters, we can conclude that time and money are unevenly distributed between families and between partners within couples. We will try to explain these differences in this chapter.
