Does the structure of couples’ time-use differ across countries? Centering the child in cross-national accounts of gender inequality in parents’ patterns of unpaid caring.

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

Using descriptive statistics, regression modelling and advanced sequence analysis, we explore gender differences in duration of childcare, relative shares between partners, number of childcare episodes and timing of each episode. Our initial findings illustrate how unequal the sequencing and duration of childcare is among couples across diverse welfare contexts.
