“…In the United States, employed mothers with young children average almost 35 hr a week on the job (35), and more than twice as many women work full time as part time (36). Nationally representative data on child care indicate a similar pattern (37).…”

Literature reviews have concluded that extensive time in early child care is associated with frequent externalizing behavior problems in children. In this article, we address three domains of validity in the work underlying these conclusions: internal, external, and incidence validity. Regarding internal validity, most studies rely on covariate‐adjusted correlations, an approach that is especially vulnerable to selection bias. In studies using more rigorous approaches to reduce selection bias, results are mixed and often inconsistent with the hypothesis that a high quantity of child care causes externalizing problems. Regarding external validity, the field has relied too heavily on U.S. samples. We call for more international replications to allow for sociopolitical variations. Regarding incidence validity, study designs have the widest relevance when structured to address the opportunities and constraints families face today. We suggest researchers ask questions about child‐care quantity that maximize validity in these three domains.

“…Finally, a new strand of literature has started to examine the effects of the 2007 financial crisis on individuals' time allocation between paid and unpaid work (28,29). Focusing on the time use of married couples in the United States, Berik and Kongar found a convergence in participation in the labor market for women and men because of an increase in mothers' paid work coupled with a decrease in paid work among fathers (30). However, the gender difference in unpaid work narrowed only temporarily.…”

The labor force participation rate of women and men is converging in industrialized countries, but disparities nevertheless remain with respect to unpaid activities. Shopping for household maintenance, in particular, is a time-consuming, out-of-home activity that continues to be undertaken primarily by women, irrespective of their employment status. The present study employs panel methods to analyze, descriptively and econometrically, gender disparities in shopping behavior among couples using data from the German Mobility Panel (MOP) for 1996 to 2009. While women still shop more than men, we find evidence that the differential has narrowed in recent years, particularly among couples with children. Several individual and household characteristics are found to be significant determinants of shopping behavior, whereby employment status and children emerge as the most important single factors. In addition, the possession of a driver's license coupled with unrestricted car availability increase each partner's time-in shopping.
