“…Some have argued that Tobit models are more appropriate in such circumstances, assuming a latent propensity to do an activity, and that negative values of this propensity are censored at zero (see for example Sousa-Poza et al 2001). Others counter that time spent in an activity cannot take values less than zero and that the observed zeroes that originally motivated the Tobit estimation strategy such as whether or not consumer goods were bought, are different from the zeroes observed in time diary data (Wight et al 2009). For example, respondents who do no housework on a diary day do not necessarily do no For modelling proportion (ratios), the fractional logit (FL) model is a potential strategy because the dependent variable is constrained to take values between 0 and 1 (Buis 2006;Papke and Wooldridge1996).…”

We use data from matched dual earner couples from the Australian Time Use Survey 2006 (n = 926 couples) to investigate predictors of different forms of domestic outsourcing, and whether using each type of paid help is associated with reduced time in male or female-typed tasks, narrower gender gaps in housework time and/or lower subjective time pressure. Results suggest domestic outsourcing does not substitute for much household time, reduces domestic time for men at least as much as for women, and does not ameliorate gender gaps in domestic labor. The only form of paid help associated with significant change in gender shares of domestic work was gardening and maintenance services, which were associated with women doing a greater share of the household total domestic work. We found no evidence that domestic outsourcing reduced feelings of time pressure. We conclude that domestic outsourcing is not effective in ameliorating time pressures or in changing gender dynamics of unpaid work.Keywords Gender division of labor Á Domestic outsourcing Á Housework shares Á Time pressure As women have entered the workforce in greater numbers, it has become harder for families to find time for domestic labor. In dual-earner households, tasks that used to be performed by housewives must now be fitted around the work schedules of both partners. Scholars have noted that time in housework has gone down, largely as a result of women doing less than in times past (Sayer 2005;Bianchi et al. 2000). Notwithstanding, women

“…This finding is almost identical to that found in 15-17 year old US adolescents. 35 Extrapolated to a full year, differences of this magnitude equate to approximately 80 more hours of homework. Interestingly, time spent using a computer (other than for playing videogames) did not vary across income bands, suggesting that access to computer was not the basis of differences in homework time.…”

“…This variable is probably negatively correlated with the degree of parental supervision and thus may affect the time teenagers spend on homework or sleep (Kalenkoski et al 2009, Wight et al 2009). We also include a variable for the number of siblings under age 15.…”
