Abstract: | Being crunched for time is an important aspect of life quality. Although Denmark is a country known for gender-equality, on
average mothers are more time-crunched than fathers. We show this using a representative sample of Danish dual-earner couples
with at least one child aged 0–10 years. We analyze the determinants of time-crunch in relation to work factors for the individual
as well as the spouse and find significant gender differences. One result is that longer working hours are associated with
more time-crunch for both mothers and fathers, whereas the amount of housework only matters for mothers. The results show
that men and women have different working conditions, which partly explains the gendered time-crunch. |
